# Glen Powell's Epic Barrel Roll into Super Mario Galaxy: Fox McCloud Casting Confirmed! **Imagine Fox McCloud's Arwing screaming through cosmic loops while Glen Powell's charismatic voice yells "Do a barrel roll!"** That's the thrill Nintendo fans are buzzing about right now, with Powell officially announced as the voice of the Star Fox legend in the upcoming *Super Mario Galaxy* movie.[1][2][3] Fresh off his high-flying role in *Top Gun: Maverick*, Powell dropped the bombshell on Instagram with a playful video of him dashing through a movie theater set to the Super Mario Bros. theme—pure nostalgia fuel that has gamers losing their minds.[1][3][6] This isn't just a random cameo; Fox McCloud, the fan-favorite Smash Bros. ace pilot from the Star Fox series, is crash-landing into Mario's galactic adventure, sparking wild theories about crossovers, epic dogfights, and maybe even multiplayer chaos.[2][4] Powell's piloting background makes him a **perfect pick**—picture those loop-de-loops feeling straight out of *Top Gun* with a Nintendo twist.[2] The star-studded cast keeps stacking up for this April 1 release (just days away!): Chris Pratt returns as **Mario**, Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Brie Larson as Rosalina, Donald Glover voicing Yoshi, and even Benny Safdie as the mischievous Bowser Jr.[1][2][3] Pre-production is wrapping up fast, and with returning favorites plus bold new additions like Fox, this sequel promises to outshine the first Mario flick in cosmic scale and surprises.[1][5] Why does this matter? It's Nintendo blending universes like never before—Star Fox in Mario Galaxy? That's the kind of bold move that could redefine animated blockbusters. Powell's enthusiasm in his announcement clip screams blockbuster energy, and fans are already theorizing Fox's role: ally to Mario against Bowser, or something multiversal?[2][4]
