Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 will apparently be delving deep into the series’ mythology, with one of its returning cast members recently teasing an “intriguing” setting, plus characters including “old favourites” and “really deep cuts” – and if that doesn’t include Birdo, I will riot.
Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 – the sequel to last year’s hugely successful (and shamefully Birdo-free) animated cinematic hit – is still some way from its planned 2026 release, but that hasn’t stopped Toad voice actor Keegan-Michael Key from teasing some of what’s to come.
“One thing I can say about the second movie is that it’s a little broader in scope, and where it takes place is very intriguing lore and the Mario world,” Key told Men’s Journal (thanks VGC). “They’re going to find some really fantastic Easter eggs and it’s been very exciting so far.”
