Nintendo enjoyed enormous success with 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie, so it was no surprise to learn that Nintendo quickly got to work on a sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, with a live-action Zelda movie also in the works. Now, Nintendo has teased even more Nintendo movies may be on the way, while the company has also outlined its general philosophy for movies going forward.
As part of Nintendo’s latest earnings briefing, the company said it was working to build a “framework for a consistent release cadence” for films based on its properties. This includes The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in 2026, the live-action Zelda movie in 2027, and more films to come after.
“We are continuing to prepare for the ongoing release of movies in the future,” Nintendo said. None were named outright, but it was previously suggested that a standalone Donkey Kong movie could be in the works. Nintendo has a deep roster of popular characters and franchises, but only time will tell which will get adapted into film properties.
