Universal Pictures has scheduled an untitled cinematic event from Illumination and Nintendo for April 12, 2028, sparking speculation that it could be the Donkey Kong spin-off movie that fans have been waiting for. This announcement comes after both companies registered the intellectual property under the title Untitled Donkey Kong Project; Motion Picture in 2025.
Donkey Kong joins the party
The expectation surrounding this new project has been fueled by the resounding success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which grossed around $1 billion at the box office. This milestone has led Nintendo to broaden its horizons in the film industry, with other projects planned, including The Legend of Zelda for 2027 and cinematic events scheduled for 2029 and 2030.
Seth Rogen is in negotiations to reprise his role as the voice of Donkey Kong, while Jack Black has mentioned the possibility of a third Mario movie for the year 2029. Although it has not yet been officially confirmed that the Donkey Kong film is scheduled for 2028, the background and records suggest that this project is very close to becoming a reality.
Rumors about the upcoming Donkey Kong movie have been circulating for some time, and with the growing popularity of video game film adaptations, interest in such projects continues to rise. With the release of the Super Mario Galaxy movie still in theaters, Nintendo fans will have plenty of content to look forward to in the coming years.
Super Mario Galaxy has reached the top of the global box office, becoming the highest-grossing film of the year with a total of $747.4 million raised to date. This sequel to the successful Nintendo film has surpassed Pegasus 3, a racing movie that had previously dominated the market, with earnings of $641 million. The film, directed by Han Han, made a significant impact after its IMAX premiere in North America, but has not been able to hold up against the formidable advance of the Mario franchise.

Super Mario Galaxy has reached the top of the global box office, becoming the highest-grossing movie of the year with a total of $747.4 million raised to date. This sequel to Nintendo’s successful film has surpassed Pegasus 3, a racing movie that had previously dominated the market, with earnings of $641 million.
The film, directed by Han Han, made a significant impact after its IMAX release in North America, but has not been able to hold its ground against the formidable advance of the Mario franchise.
Mario has no rival, except himself
The projection for Super Mario Galaxy is high, as it positions itself as the most promising production of 2026, generating expectations of being the first to cross the symbolic barrier of 1 billion dollars.
This milestone is particularly significant in a year of intense competition in the film industry, where other productions like Project Salvation, an adaptation of a novel by Andy Weir starring Ryan Gosling, rank third with 573 million dollars in global revenue.
In the Spanish market, Super Mario Galaxy has maintained its leading position since its release, according to Comscore data.
However, the competition has begun to intensify, with The Mummy, a horror film directed by Lee Cronin and released on April 17, now occupying the second spot. Project Salvation holds steady in third place, while The Benetton Family +2, a comedy sequel, has debuted in fourth position.
Meanwhile, Torrente Presidente, which had taken the title of the highest-grossing Spanish film of the year with a revenue of 26.3 million euros, has dropped to fifth place on the weekend box office chart.
Three years had passed since the last time we saw Mario, Luigi, and Peach in theaters, but the audience hasn’t lost any interest: Super Mario Galaxy has been a box office hit that will surely surpass 1 billion dollars in revenue, and with the Zelda movie becoming one of the most important of 2027, the question is obvious: Where should Nintendo go now? What is its roadmap? What clues does Super Mario Galaxy leave us about the future? Don’t worry, because we analyze them one by […]
It had been three years since we last saw Mario, Luigi, and Peach on the big screen, but the audience hasn’t lost any interest: Super Mario Galaxy has been a box office hit that will surely surpass 1 billion dollars in revenue, and with the Zelda movie becoming one of the most important of 2027, the question is obvious: Where should Nintendo go now? What is its roadmap? What clues does Super Mario Galaxy leave us about the future? Don’t worry, because we analyze them one by one… Or will the Big N have the ability to surprise us once again? When is the Wario Ware adaptation coming, please?
Donkey Kong Country
It’s the most obvious one, right? Even in Super Mario Galaxy, where he doesn’t appear, the characters declare themselves die-hard fans of his adventures, and it’s no wonder: he has charisma, an incredible supporting cast, and it would allow for something completely different from the Mushroom Kingdom: adventures among vines, jungles, barrels, and special powers. Ah! And it would also allow for the DK Rap at the end, you know!
StarFox
No one can deny that their forced appearance in Super Mario Galaxy has to lead to something more… And, of course, it’s not going to be that their latest games sell, because they haven’t released one in ages. They have changed their personality to make it more accessible, they have given their voice to Glen Powell… And it would really be strange if they just left it there and Fox McCloud never appeared again in a Nintendo production doing a proper barrel roll.
Super Mario Odyssey
What remains after exploring the Mushroom Kingdom and wandering through the galaxy? Well, diving into an odyssey as it should be. Although there have been hints here and there (the dinosaur, the Mexican planet with maracas included), we still have to see the definitive odyssey of Mario, with Cappy on his head and the possibility, of course, of including another guest star. Is Nintendo really going to hold back the urge to make a modern version of New Donk City?
Kirby
It hasn’t been released yet, but after Mario and Zelda, the third member of Nintendo’s royalty (and one of the ones most likely to sell a ton of merchandise) is the quintessential pink ball, Kirby. Additionally, it’s worth noting that from 2001 to 2003, it already had a series of 100 episodes, so it’s certainly not for lack of stories to tell. The only “bad” thing (in many quotes) is that its target audience may be even smaller than that of those who enjoy the Mario movies, but it would be strange if they didn’t even try.
Super Smash Bros
Let’s not deny it: we all have in mind that, just like Disney did with the Avengers, this has to end in a colossal crossover… Because it’s not that difficult! On Wii, they already introduced the fantastic mode of The Intergalactic Emissary, where little by little we unlocked all the characters. What’s stopping them from making, in a few years, a Super Smash Bros that lives up to the ones they have been presenting and a few new ones? After all, if we’re going to make a jingling of keys, at least let it be grand: Would they dare to include Sonic? Would the audience go wild with a Falcon Punch? If Zelda is a resounding success, I’m afraid it will become an absolute priority in Nintendo’s offices. Two billion dollars guaranteed.
La película Super Mario Galaxy recaudó un impresionante total de $372,487,455 en su primer fin de semana, de los cuales $190 millones provinieron del mercado doméstico y $182 millones de la taquilla internacional. Estos números son sin duda un hito considerable, situándose como el mejor estreno del año. Sin embargo, la validez de los supuestos récords que ha logrado la película ha suscitado cuestionamientos. Algunos críticos argumentan que, al ser abril un mes con poca competencia en la taquilla, estos récords pueden no reflejar la realidad del mercado cinematográfico.
Los datos no mienten: hay que interpretarlos
El debate sobre la categorización de la animación como un género mainstream ha crecido en los últimos años, lo que ha llevado a una reflexión sobre la necesidad de distinguir entre películas animadas y de acción real al considerar récords de taquilla. En la actualidad, los grandes éxitos animados compiten en igualdad de condiciones con las producciones de acción real, lo que sugiere que los hitos deben ser evaluados sin prejuicios de género.
No obstante, a pesar de las discusiones sobre los récords, se anticipa que Super Mario Galaxy finalmente alcanzará los mil millones de dólares en ingresos, un logro significativo en sí mismo. Este desenlace, acorde a las proyecciones, solidifica la posición de la película en un escenario competitivo donde aún quedan muchos estrenos importantes por venir, incluidos títulos como Avengers: Doomsday y Toy Story 5.
En conclusión, aunque la película ha tenido un inicio espectacular, es importante recordar que el contexto y las métricas utilizadas para evaluar el éxito son igualmente cruciales. La conversación acerca de los récords cinematográficos no solo refleja el entusiasmo del público, sino también la complejidad del mercado actual.
The movie Super Mario Galaxy: The Movie has premiered today, generating great anticipation among fans of the popular franchise. The success of Super Mario Bros. The Movie and the upcoming arrival of The Legend of Zelda in 2027 have led many to speculate whether Nintendo is building a cinematic universe in the style of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, Shigeru Miyamoto, legendary creator of Nintendo and executive producer of the film, has denied these speculations, making it clear that his focus is more on fun than on a long-term master plan.

The movie Super Mario Galaxy: The Movie has premiered today, generating great anticipation among fans of the popular franchise. The success of Super Mario Bros. The Movie and the upcoming arrival of The Legend of Zelda in 2027 have led many to speculate whether Nintendo is building a cinematic universe in the style of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, Shigeru Miyamoto, legendary creator of Nintendo and executive producer of the film, has denied these speculations, making it clear that his focus is more on fun than on a long-term master plan.
Don’t expect Super Smash Bros
Miyamoto has emphasized that each movie emerges from a specific creative decision, with the criterion of fun as a cornerstone. I don’t have a 10-year plan to release movies or series, he notes. A notable aspect of Super Mario Galaxy is the abundance of cameos it features. Some of these characters even surprised Miyamoto himself during production, who admits to having forgotten some of them. I challenged viewers to count all the characters that appear, he commented, suggesting that viewers can expect surprises.
Despite many dreaming of a crossover of characters like the one offered by Super Smash Bros., Miyamoto has made it clear that he does not believe that idea will materialize in cinema. Unlike Smash Bros., I don’t think you’re going to have a situation where all the characters come together, he explained. However, there is a specific mission in Miyamoto’s mind: to include Pikmin in future Nintendo products, including movies. I want to try it in any type of product we launch, Miyamoto stated, indicating that the presence of Pikmin on the big screen could be a real possibility.
In a few weeks, theaters will welcome Super Mario Galaxy, the highly anticipated sequel to the successful feature film starring the iconic Nintendo character. The movie, produced by Nintendo and Illumination, promises not only to bring Mario back to the screen but also to introduce new characters from the childhood franchise of many. Next Pikmin movie?

Next Pikmin Movie?
Recently, a promotional preview revealed a disturbing yet fascinating surprise: the inclusion of the Pikmin, the adorable creatures from another popular Nintendo franchise. This fleeting appearance of the Pikmin has taken many fans by surprise, as they did not expect the Mario movie to integrate characters from another universe of the company. However, this decision makes sense, given that the Pikmin have made cameos in various Nintendo titles over the years, creating a background connection that appeals to nostalgia.
The appearance of the Pikmin is not only based on their popularity, but it could also hint at broader plans from Nintendo. Recently, the company released a short focused on the Pikmin to announce its new movie division, which has led to speculation about a possible animated film featuring these characters in the future. Considering the close relationship of Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Mario and Pikmin, with both franchises, these cameos could be a bridge to a future where the Pikmin have their own starring role on the big screen.
With Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo continues to expand its cinematic universe, and the inclusion of the Pikmin could be just the beginning of an ambitious plan that could lead to more animated adaptations of its vast library of iconic characters. Fans, therefore, have reasons to be excited about what could come in this new era of video game-based cinema.

Recientes filtraciones han brindado a los fanáticos un primer vistazo a un lugar icónico del universo de Mario, así como un nuevo villano que se enfrentará al célebre fontanero en la próxima película Super Mario Galaxy. Según información proveniente de un envase de galletas Pillsbury, se ha confirmado que el Observatorio Cósmico, una de las ubicaciones más memorables del videojuego Super Mario Galaxy de 2007, será parte fundamental de la trama. Este lugar ha sido el hogar base de Mario durante su búsqueda de Estrellas Grandiosas, destacándose por ser mucho más atractivo que la nave con forma de Mario del segundo juego.
Las filtraciones cada vez son más particulares
Además, el arte en la parte posterior del envase revela que Bowser Jr., el hijo del famoso villano, estará presente en esta secuela. Este personaje ha sido un antagonista recurrente desde su debut en Super Mario Sunshine en 2002, y su regreso promete añadir más desafío a las aventuras de Mario. A esta ya emocionante revelación se suma la muestra de un render de Yoshi, el querido dinosaurio verde, que se asemeja a la portada de Super Mario Galaxy 2, sugiriendo que habrá numerosas referencias a entregas anteriores de la saga.
Los fanáticos que ya disfrutaron de la primera película de Mario podrán esperar una rica experiencia llena de guiños y homenajes, con la promesa de que los creadores estén trabajando arduamente para ofrecer al menos 100 guiños en esta nueva entrega, ya que la primera reunió 85. Se espera que Super Mario Galaxy llegue a los cines el 3 de abril de 2026, y el interés por la película continúa creciendo tras estas emocionantes filtraciones. Con estos nuevos detalles, los seguidores de Mario están ansiosos por ver cómo se desarrollará esta aventura cósmica en la pantalla grande.

Super Mario has reached a significant milestone by turning 40 years old since its launch in 1981. Throughout these four decades, this iconic character has dominated multiple franchises, from racing in Mario Kart to intergalactic adventures with Super Mario Galaxy, and even made the leap to film with the recent release of Super Mario Bros.: The Movie. Despite his long history, Nintendo assures that its protagonist will not only remain relevant in the market but aims for Mario to celebrate his centenary in 2085.
Un personaje cuyo propósito es la diversión
In a recent book from the Nintendo Museum, key figures from the company, such as Takashi Tezuka, an executive at Nintendo, emphasize the importance of the constant evolution of the franchise. “One might think it would be a miracle if Mario is still here after 100 years,” notes Tezuka, who adds that the key lies in maintaining fun: “If it’s not fun, you’ll get bored.” This approach highlights Nintendo’s commitment to innovate and adapt to new forms of entertainment without losing the essence of the game, which has always been running and jumping.
Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of the character, also supports this perspective. Commenting on the future of the franchise, he indicates that Super Mario will continue to incorporate digital technologies and expand into new fields, including movies, while always maintaining the interactive aspect. “I believe Mario will be with us for a long time,” Miyamoto assures, reaffirming that the essence of the character will be key to the enjoyment of new generations of players.
Además, los videojuegos de Mario han logrado unir a diferentes generaciones, permitiendo que tanto padres como hijos disfruten de las aventuras del famoso fontanero. Nintendo es optimista sobre el futuro de Mario, prometiendo que continuarán creando juegos que ofrezcan diversión y adaptabilidad a medida que evolucionen las tecnologías y los gustos del público.
