The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Hits Peacock July 30 After Crossing $1 Billion at the Box Office

It's-a coming to your living room! The Super Mario Galaxy Movie officially lands on Peacock on July 30, 2026, giving fans who missed it in theaters — or just want to watch it for the fifth time — a chance to stream Nintendo's cosmic adventure from the couch.

A Billion-Dollar Blockbuster You Can Soon Watch at Home

After dominating the global box office and becoming the first film of 2026 to cross $1 billion, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is making its streaming debut on Peacock. Directed by Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic, and Pierre Leduc — the same trio behind 2023's record-breaking The Super Mario Bros. Movie — the sequel took everything that worked the first time and cranked it up to eleven.

The film cost a relatively modest $110 million to produce, making it one of the most profitable animated movies in recent memory. For context, the original Super Mario Bros. Movie earned nearly $1.4 billion globally in 2023, finishing second only to Warner Bros.' Barbie that year. The sequel has now surpassed that milestone and shows no signs of slowing down.

The Cast: Chris Pratt, Jack Black, Anya Taylor-Joy, and a Galaxy of New Stars

The voice cast is absolutely stacked. Chris Pratt returns as Mario, with Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad. But the sequel brought some incredible new additions to the Mushroom Kingdom:

• Donald Glover as Yoshi — a fan-casting dream come true
• Brie Larson as Rosalina — the cosmic guardian who steals every scene
• Glen Powell as Fox McCloud — yes, the Star Fox crossover actually happened
• Benny Safdie as Bowser Junior — bringing unexpected depth to the villain's kid

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination's Chris Meledandri have spoken openly about their creative partnership. Miyamoto explained that Super Mario Galaxy "clicked as a key to creating the next movie," allowing the team to show a "different side" of Mario while building out Nintendo's vision of space. Meledandri added that the promise of "Nintendo's world of space felt like an irresistible invitation for audiences" to experience on the big screen.

What About a Third Movie?

If you stayed through the credits (and you should always stay through the credits), you already know: the film's post-credits scene introduces Daisy, the beloved princess from the Mario universe. While Nintendo and Illumination haven't officially confirmed a third film, that tease is about as subtle as a Fire Flower in a dark room.

With the franchise now past $2.4 billion in combined box office earnings, a third installment feels less like a question of "if" and more like "when."

How to Watch

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie starts streaming on Peacock on July 30, 2026. If you don't have a Peacock subscription, now's probably the time to grab one. Trust us — this one's worth it, whether you're a lifelong Nintendo fan or just someone who enjoys genuinely great animated filmmaking.
