Keegan-Michael Key, the voice of Toad in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, has revealed exciting new details about the upcoming sequel. In an interview with Men’s Journal, Key confirmed that The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 will introduce some lesser-known Nintendo characters, delighting longtime fans with deep-cut references.
The first film was packed with popular Nintendo characters, but some fan favorites were noticeably absent. Key teased that the sequel will “widen out the universe” and feature characters who are “old favorites” as well as “really deep cuts” from Nintendo’s history.
Fans are already speculating about which characters could appear, with guesses ranging from Bowser Jr. and Rosalina to more obscure figures like Tatanga and Toadette. While nothing has been confirmed, the movie promises to dive deeper into Mario’s lore and deliver intriguing new faces.
Key also mentioned that the second film will have a broader scope, with exciting locations that delve further into the Mario world’s lore. He added that fans can expect plenty of Easter eggs, building on the nostalgic nods and references from the first movie.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 is set to release on April 3, 2026, with directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic returning to the helm. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details as the collaboration between Illumination and Nintendo promises to expand Mario’s universe even further, with a fun and colorful story at its heart.
