Jack Black Drops a Hint That a Third Super Mario Movie Might Arrive in 2029
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Jack Black casually suggested during an interview that a third Super Mario movie could arrive in 2029, as reported by IGN South Africa.
Jack Black is already looking far down the road for Nintendo and Illumination. While chatting with Cinemex, the voice of Bowser and Tenacious D frontman decided to improvise a brand new musical number for his villainous character. Right after finishing the tune, Black joked that fans should keep listening because the track might finally land in a third Super Mario movie coming in 2029. Nintendo has not officially announced a third film yet, but the massive box office dominance of the first outing makes another sequel feel like a safe bet.
This playful slip of the tongue comes as the Mario cinematic universe continues to expand across the big screen. Illumination already has a follow-up scheduled to hit theaters soon, and fan speculation is running wild about where the franchise goes next. With possibilities ranging from cosmic galaxy adventures to massive crossover events featuring the entire Nintendo roster, the studio has plenty of source material to pull from for years to come.
For modern players who grew up dropping quarters in arcades or rushing home to fire up the console, seeing these virtual worlds take over cinema is a massive win. Movie theater seats are filling up with the same communities that populate Discord servers and Twitch chats every single night. If Black is right about the timeline, players have a long journey of cinematic platforming ahead of them. You can read the original report over at IGN South Africa.
