"Super Mario World" Sequel Announced and Removed from NBCUniversal Press Release

A potential title for the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie may have been inadvertently revealed through an NBCUniversal press release. The press release, which was meant to highlight upcoming content for their Upfront Showcase, initially listed "Super Mario World" among other films set to be available on Peacock. This listing positioned it alongside confirmed titles such as Shrek 5 and Minions 3, suggesting "Super Mario World" could be the official title for the next Mario movie.

However, the mention of "Super Mario World" was quickly removed from the press release, sparking speculation across the internet. The swift retraction by Universal indicates that the title might have been prematurely disclosed. The original text included "Super Mario World, Shrek, and Minions," hinting that while Shrek and Minions were placeholders for their respective sequels, "Super Mario World" could indeed be the specific title chosen for the Mario sequel.

If "Super Mario World" is indeed the chosen title, it would resonate well with fans familiar with the iconic Super Nintendo game of the same name. This title choice could suggest a storyline that explores the expansive world of Mario, potentially introducing new characters and settings from the beloved franchise.

The excitement around this potential leak underscores the high anticipation for the next installment in the Super Mario Bros. movie series. Fans are eager to see how the sequel will build upon the success of the first film, and the title "Super Mario World" promises an adventure that could take Mario and his friends to new heights.
