The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a sequel to the movie that grossed $1.3 billion, has received mixed reviews. The film follows the story of Mario (Chris Pratt), Luigi (Charlie Day), Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), and Bowser Jr. (Benny Safdie). The main character is played by Brie Larson and is the mother of the Lumas, and Yoshi (Donald Glover) joins the adventure. Despite the film's animation being praised for its appeal to non-hardcore sci-fi fans, there are few Easter eggs and plenty of action sequences. The only real standouts are Anya Taylor Joy and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad. The movie is expected to do well at the box office, but it is likely to move that dial down to a more adult-friendly version of McCloud.
