Exciting Developments for the Nintendo Cinematic Universe: A Third Film Confirmed for 2028
As anticipation builds leading to the release of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, exciting new information has emerged. Reports suggest that Nintendo and Illumination are already planning a third movie scheduled for April 12, 2028. This revelation came to light through an updated posting on Universal’s Spanish website.
The update was initially highlighted by VGC, revealing a calendar entry for an “Untitled Illumination/Nintendo Event Film.”This could potentially be the next installment in the Super Mario franchise following Galaxy, or it may kickstart a new cinematic journey featuring beloved characters such as Donkey Kong, Star Fox, or Metroid.
Despite no prior appearances by Samus in the Super Mario films, and Donkey Kong’s absence in Galaxy, there have been persistent rumors about potential spin-offs, especially since the release of the original Super Mario Bros. Movie, which shattered box office records. The excitement has magnified further with the rumored addition of a Star Fox film, particularly following the iconic character’s brief cameo in the upcoming release.
Both the original Super Mario film and its sequel have not only captivated audiences but have also grossed over a billion dollars collectively. This undeniable success indicates a strong demand from fans and a clear signal for Universal, Nintendo, and Illumination to outline their future projects.
With this third film on the horizon, the big question remains: Will it be a continuation of the Super Mario saga, establishing a trilogy, or will we finally see the expansion of the burgeoning Nintendo Cinematic Universe (NCU) through spin-offs?
Given the upward trajectory set by the initial films, any new addition is poised for significant box office success. However, before we delve into these future plans, all eyes will be on the live-action Legend of Zelda Movie, which may impact subsequent releases depending on its box office performance. This highly anticipated film began production earlier this year and is slated for release on May 7, 2027.
As we await more news, the excitement for Nintendo’s cinematic endeavors continues to grow, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling adventure for fans of all ages.
