New Clip for Super Mario Bros. Movie Offers Tantalizing Preview (Chris Pratt Notwithstanding): Watch
Thus far, the trailers for the animated Super Mario Bros. movie have avoided highlighting Chris Pratt’s Mario voice, but the first extended clip somewhat changes all that. In between a lot of huffing and puffing, we get to hear a bit more of the maligned actor’s portrayal of the heroic plumber as Toad (Keegan-Michael Key) leads him through an awe-inspiring tour of Mushroom Kingdom. “This guy’s brother is going to die imminently!” Toad exclaims while clearing a path. Soon enough, the duo hit an elevator platform. “Whoa! Okay, so these bricks are just floatin’ here?” Pratt exclaims in a faux New Yawk accent, his voice cracking in the process. Mario gets even more confused when Toad tells him to hop into a warp pipe. “It’s the only way to fly,” Toad explains. “Oh wow, love these pipes,” ...

HHW Gaming: ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ New Trailer Is Here, Twitter Loves It
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Nintendo / The Super Mario Bros. Movie Nintendo has dropped the second trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and this time it’s hitting a lot better than the first one. The first teaser gave us a taste of Illumination’s upcoming animated adventure, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which features, much to the dismay of fans, Chris Pratt as the voice of the beloved video game plumber. In the second trailer, we get a better look at the gorgeous animated movie and the other characters not named Mario or Bowser (Jack Black). We get our first look at Princess Peach, voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy. This peach isn’t the damsel in distress we are used to encountering in the Super Mario Bros. games. Like the other characters, she also has an updated look in the fil...
Mario Gets Beat Up by Donkey Kong in New Trailer for Super Mario Bros. Movie: Watch
Now that we’ve established Chris Pratt’s portrayal of Mario in the animated Super Mario Bros. movie sounds more like Pratt himself rather than an exaggerated Italian stereotype, we can focus on the second trailer, which features the heroic plumber getting his ass kicked by Seth Rogen’s Donkey Kong. Besides that, we get a first look at Anya Taylor-Joy’s ever-wise Mushroom Kingdom ruler Princess Peach, who rallies a troop of familiar faces against Mario’s archnemesis Bowser (played by a scene-stealing Jack Black). “I’m not sure you know who I am, but I’m about to rule the world,” Bowser tells Mario’s twin brother and sidekick Luigi, voiced by Charlie Day. It sure sounds like Black channeled the mindset he teased for the character in an interview with Consequence: “Hey Pratt-Pr...
Chris Pratt is a-me, Mario, in First Trailer for Super Mario Bros. Movie: Watch
The trailer for the animated Super Mario Bros. movie has arrived and all the fussing about the iconic video game character’s new voice actor can finally get stuffed down a Warp Pipe because it turns out, Chris Pratt’s portrayal just sounds an awful lot like Chris Pratt. The first look introduces the Jurassic World star as the heroic plumber along with the indisputably Super supporting cast topped by Charlie Day’s Luigi, who completes the titular “Bros” combo with Mario, and Anya Taylor-Joy, sounding absolutely regal as Princess Peach. Meanwhile, Jack Black chews some scenery as Mario’s all-time arch-villain Bowser. Watch the trailer below. The animated take is the first feature-length adaptation of Nintendo’s long-running video game series since 1993’s live-action flop starring Bob Hoskins...
Why Is Chris Pratt Voicing Mario?
The Internet wasn’t thrilled when Universal Pictures announced very-not-Italian Chris Pratt would voice Italian-via-Japan Mario in a new Super Mario Bros. animated film. But Pratt and those closest to the project, due to hit theaters in April 2023, are adamant that his interpretation of the beloved video game character will have you shouting “Wahoo!” (Sorry.) Chris Meledandri, a producer on the film and founder of Universal Pictures’ Illumination animation studio, believes he speaks for all Italian-Americans in saying Pratt’s take on Mario isn’t offensive. “When people hear Chris Pratt’s performance, the criticism will evaporate, maybe not entirely — people love to voice opinions, as they should,” Meledandri said back in June. “I’m not sure this is the smartest defense, but as a ...
