An NBCUniversal press release may have accidentally revealed the title of the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The release initially listed "Super Mario World" among upcoming films set to stream on Peacock, alongside Shrek and Minions, before quickly removing any mention of Mario.
This slip-up has sparked speculation that "Super Mario World" could be the title of the next Mario movie. The title's specificity suggests it might be more than just a placeholder, especially when compared to the more general titles used for the upcoming Shrek and Minions sequels.
The original press release's mention of "Super Mario World, Shrek, and Minions" is particularly intriguing, as Shrek and Minions are known to refer to Shrek 5 and Minions 3, respectively. This raises the possibility that "Super Mario World" could indeed be the official title for the next installment in the Mario franchise.
Given the context and the nature of the title, "Super Mario World" as the name for the sequel makes sense and has fans eagerly anticipating its release.
