Glen Powell Announces Fox McCloud Role in ‘Super Mario Galaxy Movie’

Glen Powell joins an A-list voice cast as Fox McCloud in a surprise crossover, expanding the Super Mario Galaxy Movie's Nintendo character roster.

  • Actor Glen Powell confirmed this morning he is voicing Fox McCloud in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, announcing the role via a cosplay video and saying "Born to Barrel Roll."
  • The casting follows weeks of speculation after eagle-eyed fans spotted Fox in a recent Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer, with official confirmation arriving yesterday ahead of the film's April 1 release.
  • Powell joins returning stars Chris Pratt as Mario and Charlie Day as Luigi, plus newcomers Brie Larson as Rosalina, Donald Glover as Yoshi, and Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr. Fox McCloud is known from Star Fox action games and as an original Super Smash Bros. fighter.
  • Fox is not the only Smash Bros. character crossing into the Super Mario Galaxy Movie; cameos from Pikmin and R.O.B., a real-life Nintendo Entertainment System toy turned Super Smash Bros. fighter, are also confirmed.
  • Star Fox exists outside traditional Mushroom Kingdom canon, making its inclusion a notable exception to Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto's stated "unwritten rule" keeping franchises like Mario and Splatoon separate.
