More than two weeks ago it was announced that Nintendo and the animation company Illumination would develop another film from the world of “Super Mario”. It is now known when the film will open in German cinemas: it should be on April 2, 2024. Just like “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic direct again based on a script by Matthew Fogel.
There is no concrete information about the film yet, except that it will be an animated film. So it is unclear whether we will get a classic sequel to “The Super Mario Bro. Film” it is expected whether we will go back into the world but will have to deal with new characters.

The return of the directors and the screenwriter suggests that we are dealing with ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2’.
