The world of Nintendo might be on the cusp of a cinematic revolution. Fresh off the heels of the success of The Super Mario Bros Movie, there's excitement about what Nintendo and Illumination, the studio behind Mario's big-screen adventure, might be cooking up next.

Creating a Nintendo Cinematic Universe

According to insider DanielRPK, a trusted source in the entertainment industry, the studios are contemplating something unprecedented - an Avengers-style movie based on the Super Smash Bros franchise. We'll note, the below tweet is gated-off by a Patreon subscription.

Is a Nintendo Cinematic Universe Being Created?

This ambitious project, if it comes to fruition, could mark the dawn of a Nintendo Cinematic Universe (NCU), a concept that seems to draw inspiration from Marvel's wildly successful cinematic endeavors. The idea of a shared universe where beloved characters from various Nintendo franchises team up is not just thrilling for fans; it's a significant evolution in how video game stories can be told on the silver screen.

Nintendo's Super Smash Bros has been a flagship title since its introduction in 1999 on the Nintendo 64. The game brought together characters like Mario, Luigi, Link, Donkey Kong, and more, in an epic crossover that was a dream come true for gamers. Illumination's proposal reportedly includes plans for multiple spin-offs leading to the main event, much like the MCU's approach.

Universal Studios Updates Leadership Bios

While we covered this topic last month, key leadership from the Universal Studios' front has updated their professional bio to speak more towards an expansion of the Nintendo IP. Specifically, Donna Langley, Chairman & Chief Content Officer of NBCUniversal Studio Group, updated her professional bio to hint at the "birth" of a new franchise.

Live-Action Zelda Film in the Works

Interestingly, a live-action Legend of Zelda film is already in the pipeline, though it's unclear if this will tie into the proposed Super Smash Bros cinematic venture. Regardless, the potential for a film that encompasses the universes of Star Fox, Metroid, Kirby, and Pokémon – each with their own rich storytelling potential – is a tantalizing prospect.

The Wrap

With 2024 marking the 25th anniversary of the Super Smash Bros series, there's no better time for Nintendo to make a splash with a big announcement. Could this be the year we get official confirmation of a Super Smash Bros movie? Only time will tell, but here at Nintendosupply.com, we'll keep our ears to the ground and our eyes on the horizon for any developments.

Stay tuned for more updates and insights into this exciting possibility in the world of Nintendo.
