What’s the Film About?
In the film, Mario, Luigi and their new friend Yoshi join Princess Peach and Toad on an adventure into outer space, where they meet Princess Rosalina and face off against Bowser and his son, Bowser Jr. Inspired by the beloved Super Mario Galaxy video games, the sequel takes the franchise far beyond the Mushroom Kingdom — into cosmos-spanning planets filled with fiery volcanoes, underwater worlds, and gravity-defying neon landscapes.
The final trailer makes the stakes clear: Bowser Jr. is out for revenge, demanding his father’s release and threatening chaos across the galaxy. It’s bigger, bolder, and more visually spectacular than its predecessor in every measurable way.
Three Casting Reveals That Stole the Show
The trailer itself was thrilling enough, but the casting announcements made it unforgettable. Donald Glover — musician, actor, creative force behind Atlanta — bringing Yoshi to life is a choice that feels both unexpected and perfectly right. His voice snippet in the trailer already has fans buzzing. Luis Guzmán voices Wart, a classic villain from Super Mario Bros. 2, while Issa Rae voices the Honey Queen. TheWrap
All three join a returning ensemble that was already stacked — and together they suggest a film that takes both its world-building and its characters seriously. The animation quality showcased in the final trailer looks genuinely stunning, with deep-cut game references woven throughout for die-hard fans.
Donald Glover will voice Yoshi in all languages and territories worldwide Deadline — a detail that underlines just how significant this casting is for the global rollout of what’s already shaping up to be one of the biggest animated releases in years.
