"Super Mario World" Sequel Title Briefly Appears in NBCUniversal Press Release

Author : Violet May 25,2025

It seems we might have an early reveal of the title for the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, thanks to a premature announcement in an NBCUniversal press release. The press release, which was meant to highlight upcoming content for the Upfront Showcase, inadvertently included Super Mario World among the list of films from Universal Pictures and Illumination set to stream on Peacock.

This mention of Super Mario World quickly spread across the internet, but Universal was swift to act, revising the press release to omit any reference to Mario. The original text had grouped Super Mario World alongside Shrek and Minions, which are known to be Shrek 5 and Minions 3, respectively. This suggests that Super Mario World might not be the final title for the Mario sequel, but rather a placeholder or umbrella term.

Interestingly, Super Mario World is a more specific title than just Super Mario or Super Mario Bros., which could indicate its potential accuracy. Given the context, using Super Mario World as the title for the next Mario movie would certainly resonate with fans familiar with the beloved game of the same name.

For those who have seen The Super Mario Bros. Movie, be aware that spoilers may follow as discussions about the sequel and its potential plot connections unfold.
