Super Mario Bros Trailer Release Date Revealed

Nintendo and Illumination have announced that the teaser trailer for the upcoming Super Mario Bros film will be released live at New York City Comic Con next month.

The trailer will be shown on Friday, October 6th at 4 PM EST. There has been much back and forth about the film, including grimaces over the chosen actors and rumors that the film was initially delayed after a terrible screening. While Charles Martinet (Mario’s original voice) will be in the film as mystery characters, he will not be voicing Mario. That will be Chris Pratt. The entire list of actors are as follows:

• Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach
• Charlie Day as Luigi
• Jack Black as Bowser
• Keegan-Michael Key as Toad
• Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong
• Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek
• Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong
• Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike

This is going to be make or break time for the film. You can always re-work an animated character like Sonic. Voices are different. If Pratt doesn’t absolutely nail Mario’s voice, the film may be DOA before release. Gamers are VERY protective of their franchises, and none is more iconic than Mario. Best of luck to Mr. Pratt
