Glen Powell Stars as Fox McCloud in The Super Mario Galaxy Film
Glen Powell has confirmed he will voice Fox McCloud in the upcoming Super Mario movie. He announced the role on Instagram with the line “Born to Barrel Roll.”
Role confirmation and timing
The actor’s reveal arrived shortly before the film’s April 1 release. The news was shared as promotional materials began appearing online.
How Fox appears in the film
Promotional posters show Fox standing beside an Arwing spacecraft. He appears alongside Luigi, Peach, and Bowser in group shots.
Fans had previously noticed a partial character image in early artwork. The new poster removes much of the earlier uncertainty.
Franchise context and Nintendo’s stance
Star Fox has not traditionally been part of the Mushroom Kingdom storyline. The franchise usually only crosses over in Super Smash Bros.
Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto has long noted a general reluctance to mix series. He has made exceptions before, notably for Pikmin.
