This second movie sees Chris Pratt, Jack Black and various other cast members reprise their roles. And they&#8217;re joined by news faces such as Brie Larson as Rosalina, and Benny Safdie as Bowser&#8217;s son.<\/p>\n<p>This brings us to our question and poll &#8211; will you be watching the Super Mario Galaxy Movie at some point while it&#8217;s in cinemas, or are you going to hold out for the home cinema release. <em>As always, let us know in the comments.<\/em><\/p>\n<section id=\"poll-11640\" data-block-type=\"poll\" class=\"poll\" data-uri=\"polls\/will_you_be_watching_the_super_mario_galaxy_movie\" data-id=\"11640\" data-question=\"Will you be watching the Super Mario Galaxy Movie?\">\n<div class=\"results hidden\">\n<h3 data-toc=\"skip\">Will you be watching the Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
