Next Mario Movie Possibly Coming in 2029
The next installment of the Super Mario movie franchise could arrive in theaters by 2029, according to Keegan-Michael Key, who voices the character Toad in the series. Key made the announcement during a recent interview with ScreenRant, conducted during the digital release of Super Mario Galaxy.
The revelation comes on the heels of the successful theatrical release of Super Mario Movie 2 just last month, which has already proven to be another major box office success for the franchise. Key indicated that the filmmakers are prioritizing quality and precision in development, with the directors committed to “getting everything right” across all aspects of production and design.
The proposed 2029 release date would place the third film approximately three years after the second installment, continuing the roughly triennial release schedule the franchise has maintained since its cinematic debut. While the target date has not yet been officially confirmed by the production studio or Nintendo, Key’s statement from an official interview suggests this is the timeline the creative team is currently working toward.
No additional details about the plot, cast, or production status have been announced at this time.
