Fox McCloud Confirmed for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

The late-stage poster signals Nintendo's push toward cross-franchise storytelling.

Overview

  • The film's official account, which posted a new character poster Thursday, confirms Fox McCloud appears in the sequel with his Arwing ahead of the April 1 release.
  • The studio has not named a voice actor for Fox, and it has not said how large his part will be.
  • Nintendo has not confirmed whether Star Fox teammates like Falco, Slippy, or Peppy show up.
  • Earlier promos teased other Nintendo cameos such as a Pikmin and the NES robot R.O.B., pointing to crossovers beyond the core Mario cast.
  • Coverage ties the reveal to a possible shared Nintendo film universe or a future Super Smash Bros. crossover, while Forbes says strong presales undercut any claim this was a desperate move.
