If you've been waiting for the Super Mario Bros. movie, then you'll have to wait for a bit. Nintendo announced that the film's release date is being pushed back to April 2023 instead of December 2022. Video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto announced the delay on Twitter. The film will premiere in North America on April 7, 2023, and in Japan on April 28.

Miyamoto didn't share the reason for the delay. Instead, he said that he and Chirs Meledandri, the CEO of Illumination animation studio, decided to delay its release. The Nintendo exec promised, "it will be well worth the wait." The Super Mario Bros. film has been in the works since 2017. It'll feature the voices of Chris Pratt as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach. Jack Black will voice Bowser, while Seth Rogen will voice Donkey Kong. Charles Martinet, the actor who portrayed Mario in different games in the franchise, will also voice characters in the film.
