The next Mario movie's title got accidentally announced
Universal appears to have confirmed that the next Mario film will be titled Super Mario World. The title was included in a press release about upcoming movies, but apparently by mistake, since it was removed shortly after publication.
The title first appeared in a press release about NBCUniversal's upcoming content slate, listed as part of a selection of films scheduled to stream exclusively on NBC's Peacock following their theatrical release. Within hours the post had been updated and ' Super Mario World ' removed, along with mentions of Shrek and Minions movies.
The title makes some sense. The first film's post-credit scene teased the arrival of Mario's bright green dinosaur steed / friend Yoshi, who made his videogame debut in… Super Mario World, which launched on the SNES in 1990. It was the console's most popular game, selling more than 20 million copies.
The upcoming sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie was announced in March 2024, with a launch planned for April 3rd, 2026, and directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic returning to lead the production. A sequel came as no big surprise after the first film brought in over $1 billion worldwide. Nintendo took that as a green light to ramp up its entertainment efforts, with a live-action Legend of Zelda movie also in the works and due to release in March 2027.

Jimmy Fallon Gives Dakota Johnson a Tissue to Cover Her Cleavage, Jokes He'll Sell It on eBay
Dakota Johnson had some last-minute regrets about her outfit choice on 'The Tonight Show' on Monday night, so Jimmy Fallon provided a quick fix in the form of a tissue. The NBC host then joked that he'd sell it online afterward. The moment came right at the start of Johnson's appearance in support of her new film 'Materialists,' which hits theaters on June 13. As she sat down, she looked downward and uttered 'Oh god' as she seemed to realize her skirt rode up a bit high and the neckline of her top showed a lot, given the angle of the camera. 'This is the wrong outfit,' Johnson said with a chuckle. 'I think it's perfect, just don't move' Fallon replied, prompting Johnson to joke that 'my eyes are up here.' The duo then recalled their experiences with the 'SNL50' celebration, with the actress noting that she wasn't actually in the crowd but got to watch from under the bleachers, where 'SNL' boss Lorne Michaels watches. But, as the conversation progressed, Johnson was once again distracted by how exposed she felt. 'Tell me if there's a problem,' she requested. Fallon swore there wasn't a problem — just 'almost' a problem — but Johnson then jokingly asked for a blanket from anyone in the room to help cover up. So, the comedian offered her the next best thing he had: a tissue. Johnson proceeded to tuck it in and indeed, the tissue covered everything. But, when Fallon lamented ruining her outfit, the actress opted to take the tissue out and handed it back to him. 'Do you want to keep this?' Johnson asked, to which Fallon joked: 'I'm putting this on eBay this evening.' Johnson managed to navigate the rest of the interview without triggering NBC's standards department too much, save for the stray f-bomb. That wasn't the only funny moment between these two stars, though. While talking about the 50th anniversary special, Johnson said she saw her 'Materialists' co-star Pedro Pascal behind the scenes as he was preparing for the 'Domingo: Vow Renewal' sketch. Meryl Streep was also backstage for another sketch, and though Johnson had never met the iconic actress, she said hi. 'She reached for me and kissed my hand,' Johnson shared, earning a theatrical gasp from the studio audience. Watch the full NBC interview above.

Jimmy Fallon reveals he threatened to kill himself if he wasn't cast on ‘SNL' by age 25
Jimmy Fallon was willing to die for 'Saturday Night Live.' During an appearance on Monday's episode of Steven Bartlett's 'The Diary of a CEO' podcast, the 50-year-old late-night host confirmed that he threatened to kill himself if he didn't get cast on 'Saturday Night Live' before he turned 25. 'Yeah, I wrote that in something, some journal or something,' Fallon said. ''If I don't get on 'Saturday Night Live' by the age of 25, than I'll kill myself.'' 8 Jimmy Fallon on 'Saturday Night Live' in 2000. NBCUniversal via Getty Images When asked if he meant the threat, Fallon responded: 'Yeah, I did. But, again, I knew that I was gonna be on 'Saturday Night Live,' so I guess I didn't really mean it. Cause I was gonna be on 'Saturday Night Live' before I was 25. I just, I knew that I was going to be on it, so I knew I wasn't really a threat.' 8 Jimmy Fallon on 'The Diary of a CEO' podcast. TheDiaryOfACEO/YouTube Fallon told Rolling Stone in 2011 about wanting to take his own life. 'I remember saying to myself, 'If I don't make it on 'Saturday Night Live' before I'm 25, I'm going to kill myself.' It's crazy. I had no other plan. I didn't have friends, I didn't have a girlfriend, I didn't have anything going on. I had my career, that was it,' he told the outlet. On the podcast, Fallon said, 'I was into computers, so I think I typed it. I think it's on some file somewhere. I think I said I will kill myself, but I definitely said 25 was my thing.' 8 Jimmy Fallon on 'SNL' in 1999. ©NBC/Courtesy Everett Collection 8 Jimmy Fallon at the opening of NBC Company Store at General Electric Building in New York City in 1999.

'Looking back, I remember trying to see what therapy was or if I could afford a therapist or what that meant.' 'I was just breaking down mentally,' he continued. 'I wasn't getting anywhere. I really had no friends and no social life and obsessed with work and obsessed with standup.' 8 Jimmy Fallon on 'The Tonight Show' in 2024. Todd Owyoung/NBC via Getty Images Fallon recalled, 'I think I wrote a letter to my best friend, like, 'I'm losing it dude.' I think it was something to the point, like, 'I'm losing it and I don't know if I can make it.'' The father of two was 'obsessed' with being on 'SNL' as a kid. (He and wife Nancy Juvonen are parents of daughters Winnie, 11, and Frances, 9.) 'I couldn't really hang out with anyone while I watched the show because I didn't like it if anyone didn't like the show,' he said. 8 Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon on 'SNL' in 2000.

I can't just tape it. I have to watch it live,'' Fallon shared. The 'Tonight Show' host added that, as an adult, 'all I wanted to do' was be on the sketch comedy series. 'If I got on for one season or one episode, then I could do whatever I could,' he stated.
