Super Mario Galaxy Movie Plot Description Accidentally Reveals Villain
A major plot point in the upcoming sequel to The Super Mario Bros Movie appears to have been unintentionally spoiled by a cinema chain listing. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, set for release later this year, follows the blockbuster 2023 video game adaptation that became one of the highest-grossing films of all time.
Leaked Plot Details Surface Online
According to reports from IGN, a since-deleted listing on the Everyman cinema chain website included a plot description that mentions the inclusion of Wario, a notorious treasure hunter from the Mario franchise. The description read: “After defeating Bowser and saving Brooklyn, Mario faces Wario and Bowser Jr.'s evil alliance. Now, alongside his friends and Yoshi, he must stop their plans for world domination.”
This leak has not been officially confirmed, and Wario has yet to appear in any promotional materials for the film. However, the description has ignited widespread speculation among fans about the sequel's storyline and character roster.
Returning Cast and New Additions
The film will see the return of many original voice actors, including Chris Pratt as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Jack Black as Bowser. New cast members include Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr. and Brie Larson as Princess Rosalina.
Wario is one of the most iconic characters in the Mario video game series, featuring prominently in spin-offs like WarioWare and Wario World. His potential inclusion in the movie has long been anticipated by fans, but the casting remains unconfirmed.
Fan Speculation on Voice Casting
Fans have previously suggested that Danny DeVito, co-star of Charlie Day in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, would be an ideal fit to voice Wario. Interestingly, Jack Black himself proposed in a 2023 interview with GameSpot that Wario could join the film adaptations, suggesting Pedro Pascal from The Last of Us for the role.
Black stated: “You know, what if there is a more powerful, more evil villain? Then I may need to be turned to help Mario and the rest to defend our universe against some other unseen force of evil. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Wario. Pedro Pascal is Wario.”
Box Office Success and Release Date
The original Super Mario Bros Movie achieved monumental success, earning nearly $1.4 billion globally. It ranked as the second-highest-grossing film of 2023 and the 15th-highest-grossing film in history. The sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, is scheduled for release in cinemas on 1 April, promising to build on this legacy with new adventures and characters.
While the accidental plot reveal has stirred excitement, official details about Wario's role and voice actor are still awaited. Fans are eagerly anticipating further announcements as the release date approaches.
