Miyamoto\u2019s Super Mario Bros movie tweet spawns countless new memes Nintendo \/ Twitter: Nintendo of AmericaA tweet penned by Shigeru Miyamoto on the official Nintendo of America Twitter account is throwing the internet for a loop \u2014 and spawning countless new memes, in the process. In September 2021, Nintendo officially revealed that they are working on an upcoming Super Mario Bros movie. The announcement was met with a wide array of reactions online \u2014 mostly due to the film\u2019s surprising cast, which includes such names as Chris Prat as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, and Jack Black as Bowser. It\u2019s been some time since fans have heard any news regarding the Mario movie. However, this changed on April 25, 2022, when game director and producer Shigeru Miyamoto penned a tweet from the official Nintendo of America Twitter account. Super Mario Bros movie delayed until 2023 \u201cThis is Miyamoto,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAfter consulting with Chris-san, my partner at Illumination on the Super Mario Bros. film, we decided to move the global release to Spring 2023\u2013April 28 in Japan and April 7 in North America. My deepest apologies, but I promise it will be well worth the wait.\u201d The flick was initially slated for release in December 2022. This means that, from this date, Western fans will have to wait about a year for the movie\u2019s release. This is Miyamoto.
