Sequel to "Super Mario World" Leaked, Then Pulled

Oct 04,25

The official title of The Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel may have leaked prematurely through an NBCUniversal press release that was later edited.

Internet sleuths noticed NBCUniversal's advertising materials listing "Super Mario World" among upcoming Universal Pictures and Illumination films destined for Peacock streaming. However, Universal quickly revised the document to excise all Mario-related references.

Notably, the original press release grouped "Super Mario World" with shorthand references to "Shrek" and "Minions" - likely placeholder terms for Shrek 5 and Minions 3 respectively. This suggests "Super Mario World" might represent a working title rather than the final branding.

That said, "Super Mario World" carries more specificity than generic alternatives, making it plausible as the actual sequel title. The name would logically follow the first film's narrative trajectory while honoring Nintendo's iconic SNES platformer.
