Super Mario: Plot

Brooklyn plumbers Mario and Luigi get the bump of their lives when they came to know about a parallel world crowded by the knowledgeable broods of dinosaurs. It appears they weren’t demolished by a meteor millions of years ago but retched into another dimension and, now, they have plans to rule our world. It’s up to our unlikely heroes to fight the devil King Koopa and his Goomba guards, free the beautiful Princess Daisy and save humanity in this contingency of a lifetime.

Super Mario: Cast

The untitled Super Mario movie will feature a cast of supremely talented actors. Among them will be Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, and Jack Black as Bowser. Animating the movie is Illumination Entertainment, best known for creating the Minions films.

Previously in November 2021, Meledandri remitted concerns folks had about actor Chris Pratt’s Mario voice. Meledandri said that Pratt’s take on the legendary character was “phenomenal.” People also issued concerns over the actor’s ties to the Hillsong Church, a religious organization implicated of anti-LGBTQ practices.
