Unannounced Super Mario Bros. Movie Sequel Title 'Super Mario World' Published Then Pulled From NBCUniversal Press Release
- On May 14, 2025, NBCUniversal briefly included the title "Super Mario World" in a press release regarding an upcoming Mario film before quickly removing it.
- This happened because NBCUniversal unintentionally revealed the sequel's title ahead of official confirmation during its Upfront showcase announcements.
- The sequel, announced in March 2024 and set to release April 3, 2026, will stream on Peacock after theatrical release and is directed by returning filmmakers Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic.
- The title references the 1990 SNES game introducing Yoshi, who was heavily teased in the first film’s post-credits scene showing a polka-dotted egg.
- The removal of the title suggests the name might be preliminary, but its early reveal highlights Nintendo and Universal’s increased focus on expanding their animated franchises.
