The Japanese version of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer appeared a few weeks after the English one, and it revealed Maaya Sakamoto will be the Rosalina voice actor and Daiki Yamashita will play Bowser Jr. They join returning cast members like Mamoru Miyano (Mario) and Arisu Shida (Princess Peach). The film debuts in Japan on April 24, 2026.

Both Maaya Sakamoto and Daiki Yamashita are well known as voice actors ahead of their appearances as Rosalina and Bowser Jr in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. She’s a voice actress and singer, with some of her most notable parts being Aerith in FFVII, Aigis in Persona 3 (including Reload), Lightning in FFXIII, Mari in Evangelion, Rem in Trigun, Echidna in Re:Zero, and Akito in Fruits Basket. Meanwhile, we can hear him as Deku in My Hero Academia, Sakamichi in Yowamushi Pedal, and Mafuyu in Sakamoto Days.

Here’s the version of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer with Japanese voice acting and, while we get to hear Daiki Yamashita as Bowser Jr, we don’t get to hear Maaya Sakamoto as Rosalina yet.

As a reminder, we already knew the cast for the English version of the movie. All actors from the original installment will return for the film, with Brie Larson joining as Rosalina and Benny Safdie showing up as Bowser Jr. 

The original Super Mario Movie is available now physically and digitally, and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will appear in theaters in the US on April 3, 2026 and in Japan on April 24, 2026.

WARNING: The following article contains major spoilers for Breaking Bad, El Camino, and Better Call Saul.Although the Breaking Bad series ended in 2022, showrunner Vince Gilligan addressed the fate of six characters from Breaking Bad, its epilogue movie El Camino, and the spinoff Better Call Saul during a recent talk show episode. While Gilligan had some tongue-in-cheek responses concerning characters like Saul Goodman and Huell Babineaux, he also believed Walter White's fate at the end of Breaking Bad was obvious to viewers.

Nintendo has released the first images of The Legend of Zelda’s live-action film adaptation, confirming that filming is underway in a “lush, natural setting.”

Borrowing the phone with the company’s social media account logins, Shigeru Miyamoto writes:

“This is Miyamoto. Filming is underway for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda in a lush, natural setting, with Bo Bragason-san who will play Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth-san who will play Link.”

“Filming is on track for the film’s release on May 7, 2027. It will take a while until the release, so we would be grateful if you would wait patiently and look forward to it.”

You’ve got to say that the casting of Bo and Benjamin looks pretty spot on visually, and it’s interesting to see the direction that they’ve taken visually. It certainly looks to lean into the visual identity of the Breath of the Wild era of the game series, with Zelda in a blue dress and the pair of them hanging out in a field. In fact, I think I remember one or two of the flashback story beats from Breath of the Wild that this could be recreating.

The movie is a collaboration between legendary game creator Shigeru Miyamoto and renowned film producer Avi Arad – he led Marvel back from bankruptcy in the mid 90’s pushing licensing deals for film and television, prior to the company’s sale to Disney, and has continued to have producer credits on Sony’s extended Spider-Man universe of films, while Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and The Maze Runner trilogy’s Wes Ball is on board as director.
