A Third Nintendo Illumination Movie Set for 2028: What to Expect
A new animated movie collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination is set to hit theaters on April 12, 2028. This exciting announcement comes on the heels of the massive success of the Super Mario movies, which have collectively grossed over $2 billion globally. The upcoming film is currently listed as an untitled Illumination / Nintendo event film, hinting at a potential expansion of a Nintendo cinematic universe.
The speculation surrounding this new project is further fueled by copyright filings for a Donkey Kong spin-off, which suggests that the beloved character may be stepping into the spotlight. With Seth Rogen already voicing Donkey Kong in the Super Mario franchise, fans are eager to see how this character will evolve in his own feature film. Given the recent resurgence of the Donkey Kong IP, including a new game and a theme park expansion, the timing seems perfect for a cinematic debut.
As we look forward to 2028, the question remains: will this new film pave the way for a broader universe of Nintendo characters on the big screen? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sureNintendo fans have a lot to be excited about in the coming years.
