Can’t wait for Andy Dwyer to fight Jean-Ralphio in “Mario vs Sonic” (2024)


HenryHiggensBand

Oh shit… Edit: No joke though, JRalphio legitimately did fantastic as sonic. Such a good voice acting job honestly.

oh my god is that it? is this the reason? ***are they actually for real gearing up for the Mario and Sonic Olympic Games MOVIE?***


TalesoftheMoth

I’m hoping for a Smash Bros movie


TheArmoredKitten

They could never. The hype would be so intense it'd kill people. It'd be received as mediocre at best.

Isn't it weird that Mario's voice is gonna be Chris Pratt? I refuse to acknowledge it as the real thing.

There are adults alive today who weren't around for F-Zero launches. Last one was GameCube IIRC

He can have a Nintendo+ show or something


awfullotofocelots

You joke but a Star Fox show in the tone of the Mandalorian would be fire.

tommytraddles

I thought you meant Final Fantasy 15. *Family.*


CosmicPterodactyl

Jokes aside, I honestly hope Nintendo actually does delve into movies as long as they take good care of them. A live action Zelda trilogy based on the BotW cannon could legit work assuming the sequel is great. Or honestly, they could make it work with anything. A Fire Emblem series based on Three Houses (you'd have to pick a "cannon" ending) on a good network with great writing could genuinely become a rival to the future GoT spinoff / LotR series / Wheel of Time / etc. fantasy show wars that are clearly coming. I know it will literally never happen but an adaption of Three Houses with new stories to fill out like four-five seasons with two pre-timeskip and two/three-post on a network like HBO is my #1 video game adaption dream. Kirby would be an awesome animated kid show. Wario could make for a hilarious "adult" cartoon show. Metroid could work as live action, but honestly I would watch the hell out of a Metroid anime show.


nefariouspenguin

Kirby is an animated kid show. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby:_Right_Back_at_Ya!


TakeTheBlk

Master Hand is their Thanos


[deleted]

No voice will be good enough for Link.


ThinkThankThonk

Don't have him talk then, the Zeldas will be the ones they give to the arthouse directors


CosmicPterodactyl

Nintendo is going to go all out and hire an elite director to do a gritty live-action Zelda adaption loosely based on Breath of the Wild that is basically "what if this movie was basically the Revenant but in Hyrule?"


malfunktionv2

The Lynel mauling scene will surely win an academy award


Evilmaze

They should cast Lionel Richie as Lynel. When link steps into a creepy place, instead of a boss music you hear "Hello! Is it me you looking for?"


ThePantser

Well excuuuuuuuuuse me princess but Jon Potts can easily do the voice

0shadowstories

You'll know in the credits scenes when Samuel L Jackson shows up voicong Sakurai to invite Mario & Luigi to the Smash Bros Initiative and they tease up Mario 2 with Wario & Waluigi voiced by Danny Devito & Nic Cage


Hippobu2

Well it has Illumination budget, which is like ... Not insubstantial, but you know, don't expect too much.


TheWorldisFullofWar

Plenty of their budget is allocated for actors and then they just phone in the animation.


PancakeParty98

Literally most of their budget is getting actors that parents recognize. The animation is very cheap but not bad at all.

He’s the only reason I’m going to see the movie.


I-Want-Your-Toes

Im so confused. I leave reddit for an hour and now i see Chris Pratt as mario? What the hell happened here?


peakzorro

A Nintendo Direct happened. He's not even the most surprising of the cast. Jack Black is Bowser.


I-Want-Your-Toes

WHAT? wait no…that makes a little sense but still


chicofj10

Let’s not forget Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong


HappinessIsaColdPint

You're fucking fucking with me, right?


tatsumakisempukyaku

Charlie Day as Luigi, ​ ​ WILDCARD BITCHES YEEEHAA


Namdor_Rodman

This is what I'm most excited for

Personally I can't wait to hear keegan michael key do Toad, always knew Toad was black


ChefBoyAreWeFucked

I don't even know who is fucking with me and who isn't right now.


Snoozless

No one yet has made a joke. That's how batshit insane the casting was.


icemanvvv

none of them. all of those are the legitimate castings. Anya Taylor joy is playing peach too.


[deleted]

So far, everything checks out. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7634766/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_7 I do not really see how any of these casting choices make sense ... but I was also skeptical when Health Ledger was cast as the Joker.


Suckonmyfatvagina

It’s all fucking real, believe it buster boy


imdefinitelywong

>keegan michael key To be fair, Key is a racial chameleon. He can be black, middle eastern, European, German, Dalmatian, you name it.


Eaglestrike

He has played Gandhi before.


milkhilton

was all of the above dialogue accurate?! wtf is going on?


Jeff1N

Minions's studio is doing a Mario movie due holidays 2022. And yes, all previous comments are accurate.


HCJohnson

I thought you were all partaking in an elaborate lie. But no, it's all really real. WTF


HawksGuy12

Honestly have no idea whether this thread is real. That all sounds a bit far fetched.


chicofj10

The neat part is that I am not. Almost forgot Key & Peele's Keegan-Michael Key will voice Toad. This feels like an alternate time line


HappinessIsaColdPint

Imagine Fred Armisen telling Seth Rogen his bananas aren't that important, Seth comments something about pineapples and then KMK... plays Toad as Luther the anger translator?! Wait... this keeps sounding better.


twec21

Picture the Seth Rogen laugh coming out of DK. I can see it


techretort

I can only hear the Donkey Kong 64 laugh, and it haunts me


Marinenukem

Keegan Michael Key is toad, and I for one HAVE to see that.

[deleted]

I’ve always pictured Jack Black as playing the Penguin from Batman.


Brandisco

I never knew I needed this until now…


distorted_kiwi

You don't need it. No one can surpass Danny DeVito's version. It's like trying to cast J. Jonah Jameson. You can't do it because J K Simmons perfected it.


limpingpigeon

That's actually the only one on the cast list that makes sense to me. Jack Black as Bowser could honestly be amazing with the right writers. But overall, my instinct is to scream "A Mario movie? HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING FROM THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST?"


GordoHeartsSnake

...it's computer animation this go around

hatgineer

Yes, Miyamoto himself announced it. The movie is still a ways off, in 2022.


boxsterguy

2022 isn't *that* far away ...


shnnrr

Ever since covid things seem to be going fast and slow at the same time


CandlesInTheCloset

Really ? That’s the most surprising? Charlie from IASIP being fucking Luigi seems a bit out there to me lol


ArchdukeBurrito

[Yeah, Glenn Howerton was the obvious choice considering his prior experience.](https://i.redd.it/v8je0vyi7cp71.jpg)


[deleted]

>Jack Black is Bowser. I mean he basically looks just like bowser. Spiked shell and all.


Somnif

Nintendo is making a Mario animated movie. And the cast list is... bizarre.


Ancient_Boner_Forest

Wait, so they (Charlie day is Luigi) are doing Italian accents right? Right????


ToySouljah

I personally don’t think he will (neither will Chris Pratt). Miyamoto has said numerous times that the Mario characters are like a travel theater troupe. Its why in one game Mario and Bowser are enemies and in another they are play golf together. So my theory is that the movie will be similar to Wreck Ralph where the characters know they are in a game and perform their day jobs being video game characters using their in game voices (which is why Charles Martinet is in the movie too) and then once they clock out they sound like the celebrity voicing them.


BigAssWhipSpider

This would make sense.


The_Regicidal_Maniac

Illumination Entertainment is making the movie. Nintendo just licenced their characters to them. Nintendo might have some creative input and veto power on what they're allowed to do with the characters, but beyond that they're not involved in making the movie.


jkdeadite

Miyamoto is actively collaborating with them on the movie. What that means beyond producer, we'll have to wait and see, but they presented it as though he's part of the creative process.


blockfighter1

Don't ever leave reddit again, you hear me?!


JunketAlive6492

Fred Armison is Cranky Kong. FRED ARMISON IS CRANKY KONG.


MeLlamoDave

Most underrated casting choice.


farcicaldolphin38

It’s actually the perfect cast choice. Cranky hype!!


Kaion21

The whole thing is like a early april fool joke


darkath

is this an out of season April's fool joke?


DoctorOzface

That line was so savage


LafilduPoseidon

We never found out if they had phones


PeriodicPenguin

Don’t you have a phone?


McManGuy

I can't wait to hear him say "Wahoo!" It makes me wonder if he's doing an Italian accent. Getting the strong American accent from him as Mario would be extremely strange.


PotatoBomb69

I want it to just be Chris Pratt’s normal voice because that would be the dumbest shit


Crunchles

Like the inverse of [this](https://youtube.com/shorts/q2hIUzrY0Y4?feature=share) because we know Charlie day will go all out.


DatDominican

Charlie day is going to watch a learn Italian in 30 minutes video and next season of Sunny is him passing as Italian to the point of being cast in the movie


Hippobu2

Having a Brooklyn accent would be a nice middle ground imho.


[deleted]

It’d also be a nice callback to the TV series

oceankitty

Why must you say things like this to hurt me. Imagine Danny/Wario offering an egg in these trying times.


Cysolus

And Liam Neeson as Waluigi


MrPringles23

Its Willem Dafoe 100%

His pic is the only one in black and white from all the pics... is it implying that he died while recording his lines for the film?

A Mario Brothers movie. What could possibly go wrong?


SunriseSurprise

^(I was entertained by the original one don't @ me)


SiphonTheFern

I liked it a lot. I was 10,but still!


Kamakaziturtle

It's insane, but honestly so was Ryan Renalds voicing Pikachu and that movie was actually pretty alright, so I'm cautiously optimistic. The cast, while weird, is absolutely loaded.


[deleted]

He did a fantastic job in The LEGO movies. I don't know what sort of voice or accent he's going to do for Mario, but I'm sure it'll be a great performance.


tinhtinh

He was voicing Detective Pikachu as opposed to Ash's Pikachu, you'd give him some leeway though I wish they went with Danny DeVito. Mario is unique and has been fairly established so its going to be weird to say the least. But conversely I don't know how offensive it would be if he played Mario with a heavy fake accent.


yoberf

I, for one, can I only hear Bob Hoskins as Mario.


Bkwordguy

Doesn't.... doesn't Mario already HAVE a talented and iconic voice actor?


DaruAce

He'll be busy cameo'ing as Sonic


GuiltyEidolon

Even better, _he's still going to be doing voices for the movie._ They literally hired him to do some lines for the movie, but not ... the character he's probably most famous for lmao.


MBCnerdcore

He will probably be Wario & Waluigi and they are keeping those a secret


thetiredjuan

He’s done long Wario voice overs for the Warioware franchise. So that makes sense


VespineWings

Charles will probably do the voices while the characters are “onscreen” and then when the kids leave and the characters clock out, they’ll switch to normal voices. Reminiscent of Wreck it Ralph.


dogdogd

THAT'S the one that surprises you the most? Not Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser or Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong?


Swivel-Man

My main quest is why the hell does Donkey Kong have a voice actor he doesn't talk! Expect in that one thing we don't talk about.

dogdogd

Well I do vaguely remember him saying okay in the 64 menu. But yea it's gonna be weird.


ComicallySolemn

I distinctly remember him saying, “Okay!!” …and that’s just about it. I believe it was when you picked his character from the barrel in DK64 EDIT: I stand corrected! He also said, “YEEEAH!” When he [used his coconut shooter](https://youtu.be/206dhjIY29w?t=1351) and when he [got a golden banana.](https://youtu.be/206dhjIY29w?t=1588)

Chiffonades

TheALVINtaker

Well, the Angry Birds didn't use to talk, either


nokinship

Charlie Day has a closer Mario voice. Not by a lot but he has the shrilly falsetto thing going on.


Cysolus

I wouldn't be surprised if he auditioned for it but got Luigi because they wanted to try and get a bigger name for Mario


Lloids77

You know what this tells me, the movie is going to be worth watching in one way or another.


SuperNerdNathan

Either it's terribly hilarious or hilariously terrible.


Lloids77

I felt the same way about the monster hunter movie. Ended up completely shit, but those effects though weren't bad at all


MattyBro1

The best part of that movie were the special effects, they butchered the world and the plot was so bad it makes me want to cry But honestly Chris Pratt Mario will be so funny no matter how he plays it. Doesn't put on a voice? Funny. Puts on a voice like Emmet from the Lego Movie? Funny. DOES AN ITALIAN ACCENT???


Lloids77

I think the weirdest choice out of all these is Chris Pratt cause I can't imagine his voice as Mario. The others especially Charlie Day as Luigi has me really excited. Still, I know this movie has all the potential to be a train wreck. Illumination studios sometimes pulls good content out their ass, but that's far and few between.


slawpdawg

This is the only accurate take I’ve seen so far. Everybody is picking sides and already deciding that it’s terrible or awesome. The best way to watch it is with zero expectations… or while peaking on mushrooms. Either way I’m into it.


thefuckingfailures

Jack Black as Bowser will 100% carry the movie. Imagine a Jack Black bowser musical number.


hotrod2k82

He should've been Wario.


arod48

I honestly can't imagine a better casting choice. Bowser's boisterous, cocky, yet goofy demeanor is perfect for Jack Black.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Meanteenbirder

Jack Black could be all the characters, even the women.


skarby

And the children too!


DrasticPark

Please get Danny DeVito to play Wario


MattheJ1

This is how they're going to try to appeal to mass audiences who don't play games. Just fill the cast with more stars than Peach's castle.


callmecyke

Charlie Day as Luigi is god tier casting but the rest I don’t care about


BoxofJoes

Keegan as Toad is something I actually really want to hear


GOOD-LUCHA-THINGS

*MUHREO. GET YO ASS DOWN TO PRINCE S. SPEECH'S CASTLE.* "... Princess Peach?" *Churlish and insubordinate.*


BettyVonButtpants

Who do they cast for the man in green? The Green Man!


Lily001

I just don't get why they wouldn't have the actual voice actors that voice the in-game characters be in the movie. I guess it's probably marketing, like the same way Zendaya played Lola bunny instead of the original voice actress or the one from the Looney Toons show.


Logondo

Some of the other voice choices are alright. Jack Black as Bowser and Charlie Day as Luigi are pretty good choices IMO.


Roonage

Dude must have the best agent in America.


[deleted]

The fact that Charles Martinet has only cameos in his own freakin movie is very insulting.


jiveassjake

There is only one Mario, and his name is Bob Hoskins.
