Glen Powell to Voice Star Fox's Fox McCloud in 'Super Mario: Galaxy Movie'
The highly anticipated animated film "Super Mario: Galaxy Movie" is set to feature a beloved character from another iconic Nintendo franchise, promising an exciting crossover for fans.
Nintendo recently unveiled a new promotional poster for "Super Mario: Galaxy Movie," prominently showcasing Fox McCloud, the courageous leader of the Star Fox team. The Star Fox series, while one of Nintendo's long-standing intellectual properties, has experienced a period of reduced activity and media visibility in recent years.
The role of Fox McCloud will be voiced by Glen Powell, an actor widely recognized for his performances in films such as "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Anyone But You." The casting of such a prominent Hollywood talent suggests that McCloud's role in the film's narrative could be more substantial than a mere cameo.
This unexpected appearance of a Star Fox character in a Mario film could also signal Nintendo's renewed interest in the Star Fox franchise itself, potentially paving the way for future game releases or more extensive cinematic crossovers within the broader Nintendo universe.
Fans worldwide can look forward to the global premiere of "Super Mario: Galaxy Movie," which is scheduled for April 1, 2026.
