Regardless of the quality of the movie, which could really go either way, the recent trend of casting celebrities in place of professional voice actors is getting tiring. The film will be produced alongside the studio that produced Despicable Me, and the creator of Mario is apparently helping with the screenplay.
CHARLES MARTINET MOVIE
With behind-the-scenes names with credentials in The Lego Movie 2, Teen Titans, and Minions 2, the movie seems to be trying to go the Wreck-It Ralph route. The holiday season release and the cast both suggest that the movie is a cash-grab, meant to make money off of families and nostalgics alike in theaters, and to fade into the distance as a worthless piece of pop film that no one will ever buy on hard copy. My question is, what does this say about Nintendo’s hopes for the movie? It’s scheduled for theaters in late 2022. With a glitzy cast like the one announced, it would be strange for the star of the show, Mario himself, to be played by anyone other than a famous celebrity actor. The answer seems to be that he’ll bring in the most money. What qualifies Chris Pratt to be Mario? That’s a good question, and Nintendo fans have been asking that for the past few days. Who will be playing Mario, you ask? The iconic voice of Mario will be performed by none other than A-list Jurassic World and The Lego Movie star Chris Pratt. Instead, press reports that he will be appearing as a surprise cameo.
While Charles Martinet-the voice actor for all Mario appearances for the last 25 or so years-will be in the cast, he won’t be playing Mario. Among them is Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong, and Charlie Day as Luigi. Recently, news broke that the newest Nintendo movie has a stacked cast of A-list celebrities voicing its main characters.
