A new chapter in the collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination is set to unfold with the announcement of an untitled animated film scheduled for release on April 12, 2028. This exciting news comes on the heels of the massive success of the Super Mario movies, which have collectively grossed over $2 billion worldwide.
