Super Mario Bros. Movie-focused Nintendo Direct announced

Ever since it was first announced all the way back in 2018, fans have been curious to see what the Super Mario Bros. Movie looks like – especially with Chris Pratt taking on the titular character’s voice. Finally, the time has come, with Nintendo announcing a Mario Movie-focused Direct.

Making the announcement on Twitter (alongside tweeting what might be the film’s poster), the official Nintendo account said “Tune in at 21:05 (UK time) on 06/10 for a #NintendoDirect: The Super Mario Bros. Movie presentation introducing the world premiere trailer for the upcoming film (no game information will be featured).”

It is interesting to see the console manufacturer stress that no game information will be provided – though with it having been half a decade since the release of the last mainline Mario game (Odyssey), this disclaimer is understandable.

Currently, little is known about the upcoming Mario film, though we do know that it is planned to release in April of next year. Of course, the cast list for the film was also shared, with Chris Pratt taking on the role of Mario; Charlie Day as Luigi; Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach; Jack Black as Bowser and Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong.

With such an interesting cast list, many eyes are likely to be on this upcoming Direct, wanting a first look at these actors’ performances.
