It appears that the title for the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie may have been prematurely revealed by NBCUniversal in a press release for their Upfront Showcase. The document initially mentioned Super Mario World as part of the lineup of upcoming films from Universal Pictures and Illumination, set to stream on Peacock. However, this reference was quickly removed, suggesting that the title might have been disclosed before its official announcement.
The press release also listed Shrek and Minions, which are believed to refer to Shrek 5 and Minions 3, respectively. This implies that Super Mario World could be a working title or an umbrella term rather than the final name for the Mario sequel.
Interestingly, Super Mario World is a more specific title than a generic Super Mario or Super Mario Bros., which lends some credibility to the speculation that it could indeed be the chosen name for the next installment. This title would resonate well with fans, given its association with the beloved 1990 Super Nintendo game.
It's worth noting that the original press release's mention of Super Mario World alongside established sequels like Shrek 5 and Minions 3 suggests that the Mario sequel might be further along in development than previously thought.
As always, fans should stay tuned for official announcements from Universal Pictures and Illumination for the confirmed title and release details of the next Super Mario movie.
