Starfox Joins Super Mario Galaxy Movie!
26 Mar
Summary
- Starfox character Fox McCloud confirmed for the Mario movie.
- Shigeru Miyamoto previously discouraged franchise crossovers.
- The film has a confirmed release date of April 1.
In a surprising announcement, Nintendo has confirmed that the iconic Starfox character, Fox McCloud, will be featured in the upcoming animated film, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. This reveal comes less than a week before the movie's theatrical debut.
Starfox has historically remained separate from the main Mario universe, with previous appearances primarily limited to the Super Smash Bros. fighting game series. This unexpected inclusion deviates from Nintendo's general approach to character crossovers. Creator Shigeru Miyamoto had previously expressed a preference for maintaining distinct universes for franchises like Mario and Splatoon, though he noted exceptions for Pikmin.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is scheduled to premiere in theaters on April 1. The film boasts a star-studded cast, with Brie Larson as Rosalina and Donald Glover as Luigi, alongside returning actors from the first movie.
