Jack Black promises 'tons of Easter eggs' in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Jack Black, reprising his voice role as Bowser, has teased numerous Easter eggs from the Super Mario Galaxy Wii games in the upcoming 2026 animated sequel. The actor shared the hints in a recent interview while staying tight-lipped on plot details.

Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic—the duo behind 2023's box-office smash The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide—The Super Mario Galaxy Movie expands Nintendo's franchise into theaters. Inspired by the 2007 and 2010 Wii classics, the film follows Mario's space-faring quests to collect stars across galaxies.

Black, whose 'Peaches' ballad from the first movie went viral, built excitement with his comments: "I am sworn to secrecy, but there’s tons of Easter eggs, and anyone who loves that universe will be very pleased with the way that it’s been brought to the big screen." These nods promise to reward longtime fans of the Mario series, which has sold more than 600 million units across platforms.

The project highlights Nintendo's successful pivot to feature films, blending humor, action, and nostalgia.
