Nintendo and Illumination surprised fans on March 9, 2026, by announcing that Donald Glover has been cast as the voice of Yoshi in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The reveal came during a new trailer launch that showcased the film's interstellar animation and gravity-defying action. Glover’s casting brings a fresh voice to the beloved green dinosaur as the franchise expands into deep space for this cosmic sequel.

The casting news didn't stop with the Mushroom Kingdom's favorite companion. The new footage also confirmed that Luis Guzmán will provide the voice for the villainous Wart, while Issa Rae joins the ensemble as the Honey Queen. These stars join a massive production that Universal Pictures has kept under tight wraps until this week's sudden promotional blitz.

Audiences can see the full cast in action when The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hits theaters on April 1, 2026. The film's debut trailer has already racked up millions of views, promising a faithful adaptation of the planets and power-ups first seen in the original Wii video games. With the release date less than a month away, the hype for the next Nintendo cinematic hit is officially in orbit.
