‘Super Mario Bros. Movie’ Trailer: Chris Pratt’s Italian Accent Is Worse Than We Feared
The first trailer for the long-awaited Super Mario Movie has arrived, and—hold on, I need to catch my breath, because I’ve been waiting literal years for this.
Seriously: It’s been five years since reports first emerged that Nintendo was gearing up to bring Mario to the big screen for his animated feature debut. (The less we say about the live-action mess that is 1993's Super Mario Bros., which starred Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, and Dennis Hopper, the better.)
Fans' excitement ramped up in the years since, as the company confirmed in 2018 that the film was in production with Despicable Me makers Illumination Entertainment. And it hit an unbelievable fever pitch last summer, when Daddy Mario himself, Shigeru Miyamoto, unveiled the film’s English-language voice cast during a livestream. (Miyamato created the original video game.)
