No, ‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Revealing Fox McCloud Is Not ‘Desperate’
- On Thursday, March 26, 2026, Illumination confirmed that Fox McCloud, hero of the Star Fox series, will appear in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, arriving in theaters on April 1, 2026.
- After eagle-eyed fans spotted a brief trailer appearance suggesting Fox's involvement, the Star Fox series has not seen a new game in ten years; Star Fox Zero received mixed critical reception on the Wii U.
- Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto previously told IGN that 'Mario needs to stay in the Mario universe, or Splatoon needs to stay in Splatoon,' though Fox McCloud represents an exception alongside confirmed cameos including Pikmin and R.O.B.
- A new movie poster features Fox standing next to his Arwing starship, confirming his role alongside returning cast Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, and Jack Black as Bowser.
- With less than a week until release, some observers suggest this cinematic appearance might serve as a promotional push for Star Fox rather than signal a new video game, marking an unusual crossover decision.
