The Super Mario movie has been delayed and will now release at the end of March 2023

Yesterday Nintendo America tweeted out the below statement from Miyamoto, regarding the release of the Super Mario animated movie, that is being created by Illumination.

This is Miyamoto. After consulting with Chris-san, my partner at Illumination on the Super Mario Bros. film, we decided to move the global release to Spring 2023–April 28 in Japan and April 7 in North America. My deepest apologies but I promise it will be well worth the wait.

Universal Pictures, who own Illumination and are distributing the movie, have confirmed the delay for Australia as well, with a new release day of March 30.

Given that the new release date is 11 months away, we likely won’t hear anything about the movie for a few more months again.
