A month after Nintendo released its first trailer for “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” the company has revealed yet another trailer – this time giving fans a first look at Princess Peach and Donkey Kong.
In the latest trailer, viewers get to see more of Illumination’s incredible animation skills with Donkey Kong, voiced by Seth Rogen, Mario (Chris Pratt) completely bitch-slapping, and Princess Peach, voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays a Cheep- Cheeps (pufferfish) from the plumber’s face. We also see Mario Kart get a nod with a quick clip of the legendary Rainbow Road.
And while many fans were disappointed with Pratt’s impression of Mario in the first trailer, he did give us a “let’s-a-go” and a “wahoo!” This time. So we’ll give him a break from the mockery for now. Or not.
In a pre-recorded clip that played before the trailer, Rogen pretty much repeated Pratt’s statement from Nintendo’s latest video. He said, “I remember watching Mario Brothers and thinking, if they ever make a movie out of this, I better be in it.” I am happy to say that that dream has come true.”
“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” will premiere in theaters on April 7, 2023. The film also stars Charlie Day as Luigi, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Jack Black as Bowser, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson. as Kamek and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike.
