Man, so here’s what I stumbled upon. NBC Universal—yeah, the folks who own the whole Peacock deal—just dropped a little bombshell at their upfront thingy. And guess what? It’s actually kinda relevant if you’re into Nintendo. Or rather, if Mario’s your jam.
So, they tossed out the name of the next Mario flick. Surprise! They’re calling it “Super Mario World.” Now, I got sidetracked for a sec wondering if this is the first time Japan’s hearing a title like this. Wait—never mind, they probably have a hundred versions. Anyway, Nintendo and movies, they go way back, right? They’re in bed with Illumination, the animation gurus behind these Mario adventures. Wild, isn’t it?
But the kicker here is the grand list NBC Universal shared. It’s like a buffet of sequels and a sprinkle of randomness. Dive in: we’ve got “Megan 2.0,” “Nobody 2,” the ever-persistent “Shrek,” and even “Minions.” Oh, almost forgot “Super Mario World” popping up there too. Imagine that! So much going on there—like, why did nobody think to combine dragons with Downton Abbey before? (Okay, maybe not.)
Oh, and they’re eyeing April 3 for release. So, keep that date on your radar, because, honestly, who knows what kind of surprises they’ll throw at us by 2025-26? I mean, there might even be dragons involved. Or… not.
