The animated film Super Mario starring Chris Pratt was supposed to arrive later this year, but it seems that the plans have officially changed.
Nintendo owner Shigeru Miyamoto once again crossed the company’s Twitter account to provide the news. The film will now run from December 21, 2022 to April 2023. It will be released in early April in North America and later in Japan.
In the same update, Miyamoto apologized, noting how worthwhile it would be.
“This is Miyamoto. After consulting with Chris-san, my Illumination partner in the movie Super Mario Bros., we decided to move the global edition for the spring of 2023 – April 28 in Japan and April 7 in North America. My deepest apologies, but I promise the wait will be worth it. “
