Chris Pratt confirmed on his Instagram that will be playing Super Mario. He even tried to imitate his fake Italian accent but he said this will not reflect what Mario will sound like in the film.   Fans who don’t want another live-action disaster can now calm their jets because it will be a CGI animated film. So we won’t be seeing Chris Pratt wearing a fat suit and fake mustache any time soon. It will be an animated movie so don’t need to see live-action Koopas. Anya Taylor-Joy of  The Queen’s Gambit fame will be playing Princess Peach. Charlie day will be playing Mario’s younger brother Luigi. Seth Rogen is cast to play Donkey Kong and Jack Black will be playing Bowser. Fans have mixed reactions from the announcement of this film because back in the 90s  this  travesty:

Let’s Hope Chris Pratt’s Mario film wont be as bad as this one

How the hell cute creatures like Goombas got badly adapted into visual sleep paralysis demons. Thank God we will have the more iconic version rather than the latter.

That live-action Super Mario film was disliked by both critics and fans. It made $38.9 million for a Budget of $48 Million. Mario is the most popular videogame franchise of all time but the first time someone made a movie out of it, it was a mess. Fans don’t need to worry about this upcoming film because it won’t be live-action. It will be a CGI animated film and they hired people behind the Despicable Me and Minions franchise. The Fans may have mixed reactions with Chris Pratt and the cast but the movie being animated makes me trust the process. CGI animated film adaptations of video games had always been superior to live action. Animated films tend to be more faithful to the source material.
