So we heard thata Mario movie updatewas on the way, butthanks to a new tweet from Nintendo, they’re making it a bit more official witha Mario movie Direct.

In tandem with the October New York Comic Con event, we’ll get our first real look at the “world premiere trailer” for the film, which is still set to debut on Jul 20, 2025 at 1:05 PM PT (4:05PM ET). Basically all we have to go on still is the cast list, as Nintendo hasn’t provided a clear look at what the movie’s aesthetic is (in terms of sight or sound): unless this new potential movie poster is something to go by.

The first impression of this project is crucial. The Mario voice is what everyone is waiting to hear, and after the studio (and Mario’s performer Chris Pratt) have been hyping it up for months, they need to deliver. If the film is visually anything like this presumed poster, I think people will be happy.

As a note, Nintendo has confirmed that there will beno game informationfeatured during this October 6 Mario movie Direct.
