Nintendo and Illumination has released a new Super Mario Bros Movie poster which finds Bowser looming over the Mushroom Kingdom.
Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment have released a new poster for the upcoming Super Mario Bros Movie, which finds Bowser looming over the Mushroom Kingdom. Check it out below!
The Super Mario Bros Movie features the voices of Chris Pratt as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek, and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike. Aaron Horvath and Micahel Jelenic directed the movie from a script by Matthew Fogel.
I can’t say I was exactly looking forward to the Super Mario Bros Movie, but I’ll admit that the trailers have won me over. It actually looks like quite a lot of fun. If the film is successful, it could lead to sequels, spinoffs, and adaptations of other Nintendo properties. Charlie Day has expressed an interest in starring in a Luigi’s Mansion movie, telling ComicBook.com last year, “Look, I’m thrilled to get the opportunity, I grew up playing Super Mario Brothers as did everyone I know so, we’ll see! It’s like anything else in life, I’ll go if I’m invited!’“
The Super Mario Bros Movie hasn’t exactly been free of controversy. The casting of Chris Pratt has come under fire, as has the voice he uses in the movie. John Leguizamo has also voiced his disappointment with the film not casting another person of colour as Luigi, the role he played in the 1994 live-action movie. “I’m O.G. A lot of people love the original,” Leguizamo said. “I did Comic-Con in New York and in Baltimore, and everyone’s like, ‘No, no, we love the old one, the original.’ They’re not feeling the new one.’ I’m not bitter. It’s unfortunate. The directors, Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton fought really hard for me to be the lead because I was a Latin man, and they [the studio] didn’t want me to be the lead. They fought really hard, and it was such a breakthrough. For them to go backwards and not cast another [actor of color] kind of sucks.“
The Super Marios Bros Movie will hit theaters on April 7, 2023. What do you think of the Super Mario Bros Movie poster? spot any easter eggs?
