The next Mario movie may share its name with an SNES classic
We already know that Illumination and Shigeru Miyamoto are working away on the sequel to the absurdly successful T he Super Mario Bros. Movie . Now we might also know its title, even if we aren't supposed to. According to The Verge , NBCUniversal (parent company of Illumination via Universal Pictures) name-dropped the upcoming movie in a press release regarding its 2025 and 2026 content slate, before swiftly removing it. Super Mario World was reportedly included in a section that listed a number of films that will stream on Peacock following their theatrical release in the next year. Other films mentioned include M3gan 2.0 , Nobody 2 , The Bad Guys 2 and the upcoming live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon . The original post also listed the next Shrek and Minion movies, but like Super Mario World , they're absent from the amended version. Of course, there's always a possibility that NBCUniversal used the wrong name, or that Super Mario World is just a working title. But it does seem like an obvious choice. For one, the "World" part suggests a larger-scale adventure for Nintendo's mustachioed mascot this time around, and (spoilers for the first film) the post-credits scene in The Super Mario Bros. Movie hinted at Yoshi's involvement in the sequel. Nobody who owned a Super Nintendo Entertainment System in the '90s will need reminding which game the little green dinosaur made his debut in. The Super Mario Bros. Movie , which Engadget 's Devindra Hardawar called "a fun but safe Mushroom Kingdom romp" when it released in 2023, made over $1.36 billion at the global box office, and is currently the highest-grossing movie based on a video game of all time. A release date of April 3, 2026 was confirmed last year for the officially as-yet untitled sequel.

Blumhouse Drops Horror Hit ‘M3GAN' in Full on YouTube
Blumhouse just posted its horror film 'M3gan' to watch entirely free on YouTube. As a way to promote the upcoming sequel 'M3gan 2.0' releasing this summer, the Blumhouse X account fired off a tweet with the entirety of the first film available to watch right then and there. 'Well isn't today your lucky day,' the account said. 'Our legal team let us post the entire 'M3GAN' movie. Enjoy!' Well isn't today your lucky day? Our legal team let us post the entire M3GAN movie. Enjoy! — Blumhouse (@blumhouse) April 28, 2025 The 2023 horror film followed a lifelike doll run by a sophisticated AI meant to be the perfect companion to children. That's just what M3GAN does – until she transitions into a murderous rampage. The movie was a shocking hit for Blumhouse and earned mostly positive reviews and grossed over $180 million at the worldwide box office on a meager $12 million budget. The sequel to the hit is once again helmed by the first's director Gerard Johnstone and is based on a screenplay co-written by him and 'M3GAN' screenwriter Akela Cooper. 'M3GAN 2.0' brings back Allison Williams' Gemma as the creator of the robot who is forced to reboot M3GAN (played again by Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) after a new robot named Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno) goes rogue and begins hunting down everyone involved with the creation of the original bot. 'I'll admit: There were some bugs in my programming,' M3GAN says to her creator in clips for the sequel. The trailer pitches the showdown as 'this b—h vs. that b—h.' 'M3GAN 2.0' hits theaters on Friday, June 27. The post Blumhouse Drops Horror Hit 'M3GAN' in Full on YouTube appeared first on TheWrap.
