We’re still a little way away from the release of Universal Pictures’ The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The film, which releases in UK cinemas on March 31, has dropped a brand new clip which pits the loveable plumber against a classic foe.
Not only does the clip feature Donkey Kong (Seth Rogen) but it also marks the debut of another of Mario’s classic costumes from the video games. Here it’s the Cat Mario suit, first introduced in Super Mario 3D World on the WiiU in 2013.
Check out the clip in the tweet below:
The film stars Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as the villainous Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Amisen as Cranky Kony, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike.
This new animated film will be produced by Chris Meledandri of Illumination and Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo, directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, who previously collaborated on the animated series Teen Titans Go! and the film Teen Titans Go! To the Movies. The screenplay of the film will be written by Matthew Fogel, whose writing credits include The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part and Illumination’s film Minions: The Rise of Gru.
Super Mario Bros. will now premiere exclusively in UK cinemas on March 31, 2023.
