It appears that we may have a sneak peek at the title for the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie thanks to a premature announcement in an NBCUniversal press release. The document, which was meant to highlight upcoming content for the Upfront Showcase, inadvertently mentioned Super Mario World as one of the films slated for release on Peacock from Universal Pictures and Illumination.
The mention of Super Mario World alongside other known sequels like Shrek 5 and Minions 3 suggests that this could indeed be the title of the next Mario movie. However, after the initial leak, Universal quickly revised the press release to remove any reference to Mario, hinting at the possibility that Super Mario World might not be the final title but rather a placeholder or an umbrella term for the sequel.
Interestingly, Super Mario World is a more specific title than just Super Mario or Super Mario Bros., which lends some credibility to the speculation. Given the context, it's plausible that Super Mario World could be the actual title for the upcoming sequel, resonating well with fans familiar with the iconic Mario game series.
For those eager to avoid spoilers, be warned that discussions about The Super Mario Bros. Movie may follow. Keep an eye out for official announcements from Universal and Illumination for confirmation on the sequel's title and release details.
