That world was made doable when the 2023 movie, The Tremendous Mario Bros. Film, grossed nearly $1.5 billion globally, all however assuring that Nintendo would hold coming again to the massive display. And whereas we saw a brief glimpse of the movie back in September, now we get our first large take a look at the place the sequel goes. And it’s going to the celebs.
