The first Super Mario movie did so much better than anyone was expecting, considering that video game adaptations were inconsistent in terms of quality. People really responded to it, so it wasn't surprising when a new one was announced. People were a little surprised to see that we were jumping straight to Super Mario Galaxy in terms of adaptation. That game is beloved since its release in 2007, and one of the stars of the new movie, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, is assuring fans of the game that there are plenty of them to love. Jack Black couldn't tell GamesRadar+ much in terms of details, but he did tease lots of Easter eggs and said that fans will be "very pleased."
"I am sworn to secrecy, but there's tons of Easter eggs, and anyone who loves that universe will be very pleased with the way that it's been brought to the big screen," Black said.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is going to be one of the heavy hitters this year, but as always, you have to wonder if it's going to perform compared to the first one. There is no better test of a franchise's longevity than the interest from one film to the next.
