The mustachioed plumber apologizes, but he will be late. Originally scheduled for the end of 2022, the film Super Mario Bros. won’t come out on time.
Nintendo of America announces the news in a laconic tweet, which does not explain the reasons for this postponement.
Super Mario Bros. will be released in spring 2023
” After consulting Chris-san (Chris Meledandri, patron of Illumination, editor’s note), writes Shigeru Miyamoto, we have decided to postpone the worldwide release of the Super Mario Bros. movie. in spring 2023 “.
In detail, the tweet speaks of an April 7 release in North America, and April 28 in Japan. No date has been communicated for Europe, but one can imagine a period of joint release with the United States.
In his tweet, Mario’s dad does not say anything about the reasons that push Nintendo and Illumination to postpone the release of their film. difficulties, or at least production contingencies are potentially involved, with Miyamoto promising that “ the wait will be worth it “.
If the new date announced were to be maintained, the new film (in which Chris Pratt plays the title role) would therefore be released exactly 30 years after the cult Super Mario Bros. by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel. We wish him a happier legacy.
