20 Upcoming Movie Sequels That Might Be Better Than The First
18. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
The Super Mario Bros. Movie was totally fine - it certainly nailed the look of its video game namesake, even if critics were more divided on Chris Pratt's casting as Mario, its utterly threadbare plot, and of course those incessant, wildly out of place needle drops.
But it's easy to expect better from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, because first and foremost it's adapted from the Super Mario Galaxy video games, which are beloved for their visually striking intergalactic setting.
Above all else, the potential for some absolutely jaw-dropping sequences speaks for itself, far beyond the comparatively tame Mushroom Kingdom aesthetic of the first film.
On top of this, the sequel will also introduce fan-favourite characters Bowser Jr. (Benny Safdie) and Rosalina (Brie Larson).
While The Super Mario Galaxy Movie likely won't stray too far from the formula that worked the first time, there's at least a good chance that it's a more visually creative, fan service-packed follow-up.
