Nintendo sets Wednesday stream to unveil first Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer

Nintendo will debut the first full trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in a dedicated Nintendo Direct on Wednesday, November 12, with the company advising that the broadcast will focus solely on the film and include no game updates. The stream is scheduled for 14:00 in the UK (9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT), framing the sequel’s marketing push as a standalone event rather than part of a broader software showcase.

The film continues the partnership between Illumination and Nintendo and is slated to reach cinemas on April 3, 2026 in the United States and April 24 in Japan, with additional territories through April. Returning filmmakers Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic direct from a screenplay by Matthew Fogel, with Chris Meledandri and Shigeru Miyamoto producing. Voice cast returning from the 2023 hit includes Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and Kevin Michael Richardson, according to prior official materials.

Join us on Wednesday, Nov 12, at 6am PT for the Nintendo Direct featuring the world premiere of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie official trailer. Please note that no game information will be included in this presentation.

Wednesday’s broadcast extends a pattern established around the franchise, where film reveals are distributed via platform-native streams to reach the series’ global fanbase at once. UK-facing guidance sets expectations clearly around scope and start time, while accompanying posts specify that the presentation is designed for the movie’s trailer premiere. Industry sites highlight the scheduling and note that the film’s marketing is beginning to accelerate ahead of a spring 2026 release window.

The sequel’s title signals a pivot to the spacefaring setting of the 2007 game, which remains one of the brand’s most acclaimed entries. While plot specifics have not been detailed publicly, official bios and listings describe the project as a direct follow-up to the prior film, with returning characters and new environments implied by the title and teaser materials. The Direct’s timing, one day before the franchise’s 40th anniversary date in some regions, is expected to intensify attention, though the company has emphasized that Wednesday’s event is film-only.
