I'm betting Mario, Peach, and Toad head to DK Island to ask them for help in the war against Bowser. Cranky, who's some type of Mesoamerican king now, will only agree to help if Mario can defeat their strongest warrior.

Seth Rogen.

Spoiler

Or maybe in this version, the land that DK and Cranky lives in is a neighboring border and kingdom of the Mushroom Kingdom?

Bro, somehow I managed to get John Krasinski Mr.Fantastic, Killmonger in Wakanda Forever and now Funky Kong and Pauline in the Super Mario Bros Movie.

Noipoi Speed Weed Lamperouge osby quick guys, let's gather around me to summon the Chaotix into Sonic 3 or the Knuckles Paramount+ show.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Very fun trailer. Happy to see power-ups shown off and nice new look at the characters. Pretty excited.

Foreman Spike is still missing in action though (so is Martinet's cameo but I'm certain that won't be shown before premiere).

 

[dezeray112]

Here is the trailer, guys!

The animation and visual designs are stunning which is pretty much what I expected from Illumination studios.

Other than that, it still looks quite fun, entertaining and mostly stays respectful to its source material overall in which is bound to please any Super Mario fan.

 

[Wademan94]

They better cast Tilda Swinton for the role.

I’m torn if I want her or Cate Blanchett more for the role

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Film definitely feels like an illumination movie now, haha, though admittedly on their higher end of things

Probably nowhere near a high art masterpiece, but seems like it'll just be a fun movie. You definitely feel the passion here.

Peach at the end of the movie when the axe just isn’t cutting it:

You can say all that again! I do happen to agree with you there.

Though on that note, am I the only one who did not mind Chris Pratt's Mario?

Considering we were expecting complete and utter trash, I will take fun kids film that's accurate to the source material with a smile on my goddamn face

I always envisioned Rosalina sounding something like that of the former hence my reason for wanting her.

It fits too given her high authority figure along with being wise (As the Ancient One was), that's the kind of voice I can see for the character.

 

[Jondolio]

The Mario movie sure does look like a movie

 

[CannonStreak]

I am seeing plenty on another site not liking Mario, Luigi and Peach's voices. Not saying they will be great, but I think that after hearing Italian Mario in media most of the time for many years, some are going to have to get used to these new voices for those characters.

 

[TheCJBrine]

The trailer was amazing, we're gonna be hooked on the brothers!

mario uses forward aerial only to get banana slamma'd

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Spoiler

With the mention of galaxies in the trailer. Am I the only one thinking if we get a post-credits, Rosalina will appear leading up to the sequel?

Maybe, but let's not count Wario out yet.

You know I gave you the idea of Swinton as Rosa in the first place, right? And I feel like both of those qualities also fit Blanchett given her role as Galadriel.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Why does the French logo look so half-assed?

 

[CannonStreak]

Now who's a good Kiddy?

Fair enough, either could work then.

 

[Noipoi]

If Lanky's here the movie deserves an Oscar

REAL:

Please no.

Though legitimately I could see John Cena fitting Funky

Found this take on Twitter

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Not the worst take I've seen, but as long as the movie is good I don't care if it's more action oriented then other Mario products.

 

[Z25]

Now who's a good Kiddy?

He is:

 

[Michael the Spikester]

King K. Rool better be the villain in Donkey Kong's spin-off.

And get Benedict Cumberbatch or Stephen Fry for the voice. King K. Rool having a faux British accent would so suit him. Lol.

Tbf it's not like Mario games really known for having complex epic stories

 

[Wademan94]

Now who's a good Kiddy?

I doubt any Hollywood actor would be lining ip to voice Kiddy of all characters. He’d probably be one to have a legit voice actor like E.G. Daily or someone who’s done baby like voices

Exactly, the only Mario games with a great story is like TTYD and Super Paper Mario. And those are spin off games.

Lol now I'm just envisioning fanart of King K. Rool as Sorceror Supreme should Benedict Cumberbatch be the voice.

I honestly don't have an issue with it. All I was worried about was the voice or some other voices sounding out of place and at the moment, I have not felt any voice feeling out of place. So far, I have not had any issues with the voice acting.

Edit: Maybe my thing is that I am not a big movie person. Like I've seen a good number of movies with Chris Pratt like the Lego Movie, Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy, but while Mario does mostly sound like him, it hasn't felt out of place even next to the rest of the cast. Or maybe it could be because I did watch the Super Mario Bros. Super Show and original Super Mario Bros. movie and remember the voices from those.

I wasn't even expecting an original plot to begin with, I mean how more original could you do with a Mario movie?. What really will matter is the execution.

Take HTTYD as an example. Probably has the most cliched tropes but its execution on them is what made it the masterpiece it is.

Neither have I. This is definitely good to know.

Wonder if Jason Isaacs or Ralph Fiennes could also fit

REAL:

Nah man, Adam Sandler for Waluigi.

Since Jim Carrey is retired.

Bill Hader for Waluigi, no question

 

[Z25]

They gonna get Jon Cartwright to voice Kiddy Kong.

 

[Wademan94]

Would it be a bit too meta to cast John Leguizamo as Waluigi?
