The next Mario movie’s title got accidentally announced
Did Universal Just Leak the Next Mario Movie Title?
It looks like Universal may have accidentally spilled the beans on the title of the next Super Mario Bros. movie—"Super Mario World"—before quickly scrubbing it from their official announcement.
The slip-up happened in a press release detailing NBCUniversal’s upcoming film slate, where the title briefly appeared alongside other anticipated sequels like Shrek and Minions. But within hours, the reference mysteriously vanished, leaving fans wondering if this was an accidental reveal or just an error.
Why "Super Mario World" Makes Sense
If the title is legit, it wouldn’t be a random choice. The first Super Mario Bros. Movie ended with a post-credits tease featuring Yoshi, Mario’s iconic green dinosaur companion. And where did Yoshi first appear? That’s right—Super Mario World, the legendary 1990 SNES game that became one of the best-selling titles of all time with over 20 million copies sold.
What We Know About the Sequel
Nintendo and Illumination officially confirmed the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel back in March 2024, with a release date set for April 3, 2026. Directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic are returning, and given the first film’s massive success ($1 billion+ worldwide), expectations are sky-high.
Nintendo isn’t stopping there, either. A live-action Legend of Zelda movie is also in development, set to hit theaters in March 2027. Could we be entering a golden age of Nintendo films? If Super Mario World really is the next title, fans might be in for a nostalgic trip back to the Mushroom Kingdom—with Yoshi leading the charge.
What do you think? Was this a genuine leak, or just a mistake? Either way, the hype for Mario’s next big-screen adventure just got even bigger.

Whoa, Universal fumbled the Mario movie title reveal? 'Super Mario World' sounds like a nostalgic banger, but I’m curious if they’ll lean into the retro vibes or go full CGI chaos. Can’t wait to see what Bowser’s cooking up this time! 🍄
