“The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” is expanding its voice cast, and the latest entry is none other than Glen Powell, who will voice Fox McCloud, the well-known Nintendo character from the Star Fox series, marking a notable crossover for the anime sequel. Glen Powell confirmed the news himself through a social media announcement, adding to the growing buzz around the project. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Glen Powell (@glenpowell) Glen Powell, who has steadily built his profile with action-heavy roles, seems like a fitting choice for Fox McCloud, a space pilot character. There’s a certain alignment there, and Glen Powell’s previous work in high-flying, high-energy roles adds to that connection. His casting also signals that the film is leaning deeper into Nintendo’s wider universe, not just the Mario core. The film already brings back familiar voices, with Chris Pratt as Mario and Charlie Day as Luigi. First introduced in 1993 on the Super Nintendo with Star Fox, Fox McCloud went on to star in Star Fox 64, Star Fox Adventures, Star Fox: Assault, Star Fox: Command, and even the unreleased Star Fox 2 in 2017. Yet for many, he’s equally famous as a fighter in Super Smash Bros., where he’s been a mainstay since the 1999 original on Nintendo 64, alongside Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi. Fox McCloud’s addition to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hints at a broader Super Smash Bros. crossover. The film previously teased a Pikmin linked to Captain Olimar, another beloved Smash Bros. character. Could Samus, Captain Falcon, or other Nintendo heroes join the adventure next? Fans will have to wait until April 1, when the movie lands in theaters. Overall, Glen Powell’s casting adds a fresh dynamic to an already expanding lineup, and it’s one of the more talked-about additions to the project so far. Latest Anime News
