20 Upcoming Movie Sequels That Could Be HUGE Improvements
14. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie may have been a billion-dollar box office smash, but it was ultimately a relatively mediocre, forgettable animation that failed to back up its spritely visuals with a particularly witty or interesting script.
The only way is up for the sequel, then, and many heads were turned when Nintendo confirmed that the second film will be called The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
Given that the two Super Mario Galaxy games are among the most beloved Mario games ever made, the potential is inherently huge for a vastly superior sequel.
More to the point, the space-faring nature of the Super Mario Galaxy games ensures endless possibilities for spectacular set-pieces and eye-popping visuals, enough that it'll probably make the first Mario movie look positively quaint by comparison.
Though some fans were surprised that Nintendo opted for a big-scale Galaxy movie so early in their animated franchise, they clearly appreciated the massive potential of going there as soon as possible.
If this isn't a colossal improvement on the first film, it'd be a genuine shock.
