In case you missed it, as we headed in to the weekend Universal Pictures decided to gift us with a cool new poster for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The film hits cinemas across the UK in April.
The colourful new image brings together the full cast of the film for a truly inspiring look at the Mushroom Kingdom’s finest heroes and villains. Bower (Jack Black) looks large over the titular Brooklyn plumbers as they stand alongside the recently revealed Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong.
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 in April 2023.
