Fox McCloud Joins ‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ – Is a ‘Super Smash Bros.’ Movie Next?

Is a “Super Smash Bros.” movie on the horizon? The buzz is building with the exciting announcement that Fox McCloud, the renowned star of “Star Fox” and a beloved fighter in the “Super Smash Bros.” series, is joining the cast of “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.”

Rumors began swirling after a fleeting glimpse of the space pilot in a previous trailer. Now, it’s official! While the voice actor for Fox remains unannounced, his inclusion has sent waves of excitement through the gaming community.

A Legacy Spanning Decades

Fox McCloud first blasted onto the scene in the 1993 action-adventure game “Star Fox” for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. He continued to star in subsequent titles like “Star Fox 64,” “Star Fox Adventures,” “Star Fox: Assault,” “Star Fox: Command,” and most recently, 2017’s “Star Fox 2.” The Star Fox series has consistently delivered thrilling space combat and memorable characters.

However, for many gamers, Fox is synonymous with the “Super Smash Bros.” series. He was one of the original fighters in 1999’s “Super Smash Bros.” on the Nintendo 64 and has been a mainstay in every installment since. Alongside Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi, Fox represents a core pillar of the franchise. Characters like Falco Lombardi (introduced in “Super Smash Bros. Melee”) and Wolf O’Donnell (added in “Brawl”) further expanded the “Star Fox” representation within the fighting game universe. The Super Smash Bros. series is a celebration of Nintendo’s iconic characters.

Hints of a Larger Crossover?

“The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” previously teased the appearance of a Pikmin, hinting at the inclusion of Captain Olimar from the “Pikmin” games – another “Smash Bros.” character. This suggests a deliberate effort to weave in elements from the broader Nintendo universe. Could we see other “Smash Bros.” favorites like the bounty hunter Samus Aran or the speedy Captain Falcon make an appearance? Fans will have to wait until the movie hits theaters on April 1 to find out.
