If the reports are correct, fans may get to see a new Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer in the next few weeks. The highly anticipated movie adaptation of the popular Super Mario Bros. Video game series is finally nearing its release after being in production for a couple of years.

The first trailer for the Super Mario Bros. Movie was released to the public last month, and it was well worth the wait. The two-minute-long clip gives fans a first look at the live-action adaptation of the classic video game, and so far, it looks like they're staying true to the original source material. The teaser trailer mostly focuses on the iconic villain Bowser, a powerful and menacing figure who is intent on taking over the Mushroom Kingdom. Two heroes, Mario and Luigi, are shown sporting their signature outfits. The teaser trailer doesn't give too much away in terms of plot, and fans of Super Mario Bros. Are likely eagerly waiting for more trailers.

An upcoming trailer for the Super Mario Bros. Movie has been rated by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). This rating was announced on Friday, November 11, and the trailer is said to have a runtime of about 1:30. Although there is no confirmation as to when this trailer will be released, the rating suggests that it might be sooner than fans thought, and it could drop in the next few weeks. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is set to premiere in theaters on April 7, 2023.

As the fans eagerly await the release of the new trailer, it's important to keep in mind that the new rating from the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) might be in response to the previous Super Mario Bros. Movie teaser. The upcoming trailer may also be a shorter cut of the first teaser trailer that was shared earlier this year. This is a common practice for movie studios, as it allows them to better control the advertising for their films. No matter what ends up happening, it probably won't be much longer until fans see something new from the movie.

Super Mario Bros. Movie is already one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2023. Hollywood has a long-standing reputation for adapting popular culture into movies and TV shows. But, in recent decades, it seems that their focus has shifted toward video games. In recent years, fans have seen a number of high-profile video game adaptations hit the big and small screens, from Resident Evil to Assassin's Creed to Warcraft. It firmly is a welcome development. If the movie can capture even a fraction of the magic of the game, then the Super Mario Bros. Movie may be a hit with many fans.
