If you’re gonna adapt one of the greatest video games ever made, you might as well go big — like, galactic big. That’s exactly the play Illumination and Nintendo are making with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the cosmic follow-up to the billion-dollar juggernaut The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic aren’t just leveling up the scale — they’re stacking the cast like a superstar power-up.
We already knew the sequel was bringing some serious heat, with Benny Safdie stepping in as Bowser Jr. and Brie Larson floating into the Mushroom Kingdom as Princess Rosalina. But the film’s freshly dropped final trailer just revealed another major addition to the roster: Donald Glover as Yoshi, Mario and Luigi’s loyal, tongue-snapping dinosaur sidekick.
Yes — that Donald Glover. Actor, musician, creator, general pop-culture Swiss Army knife. And now, officially, the voice of the most beloved dinosaur in gaming. The galaxy just got a little funkier.
