Keegan-Michael Key confirms the third film will not reach theaters until 2029.
Key emphasized that Nintendo wants to ensure every detail is correct before releasing the sequel. He noted that directors Michael and Aaron bring significant passion to the project. This dedication justifies the longer development period, according to Key.
The first Super Mario Bros. Movie grossed $1.36 billion worldwide. Its sequel, titled The Super Mario Galaxy, earned approximately $970 million globally. These figures establish a strong financial foundation for the franchise's continued expansion into cinema.
Nintendo has also scheduled other film projects in the near term. A live-action Zelda adaptation is set to arrive in March 2027. Rumors suggest a Donkey Kong spin-off movie may follow in April 2028.
