Greetings, fellow gamers! Have you heard the news? Our beloved plumber Mario is getting his own movie! But hold on to your hats, because this isn’t just any ordinary movie. No, this is the Super Mario Bros. movie, and it’s set to be released in 2022, with the sequel already planned for 2023. Let’s take a look at what we know so far about this exciting project.
Super Mario Bros. – Humane Hollywood
First off, let’s talk about the source of this exciting news. It comes from Humane Hollywood, a group that ensures the safety of animals used in films and television. So, does that mean there will be animals in the Super Mario Bros. movie? That’s unclear at this point, but it’s reassuring to know that any animals involved will be treated humanely.
Mario Movie Starring Chris Pratt Set For 2022 Release Date
Now, onto the big news: the cast. Yes, you read that right, Chris Pratt will be voicing our beloved Mario. And he’s not the only star-studded casting. Here’s the full list:
- Chris Pratt as Mario
- Charlie Day as Luigi
- Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach
- Jack Black as Bowser
- Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong
- Keegan-Michael Key as Toad
- Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong
- Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek
- Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike
The Plot
But what about the plot? Well, unfortunately, that’s still a bit of a mystery. However, according to some sources, it will involve Mario and Luigi traveling to different worlds and battling their way through obstacles to save Princess Peach from the clutches of Bowser. Sounds like a classic Mario adventure to us!
Now, the choice of Chris Pratt as Mario has sparked some controversy among fans. While some are thrilled to see Pratt take on the role, others feel that he doesn’t fit the character. But we’re keeping an open mind. After all, look at what happened with Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight.

The voice cast isn’t the only reason to be excited about this movie, though. The animation style is also shaping up to be pretty unique. According to producer Chris Meledandri, the movie will blend CGI with “traditional-looking elements,” which could mean we’ll see some classic Mario sprites in there. We can’t wait to see how it all comes together. The Super Mario Bros. movie isn’t just a one-time thing, either. As we mentioned earlier, a sequel is already planned for 2023. And according to Meledandri, the second movie will explore “different worlds that haven’t been seen before.” That’s certainly a tantalizing prospect.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
So, how can you watch the Super Mario Bros. movie when it’s released? Well, that’s still up in the air, but we can make some educated guesses. It’s safe to say that the movie will be released in theaters, but it’s also possible that it will be released on streaming platforms simultaneously. And as for rental and purchase options, we’d be surprised if it’s not available on all the usual suspects (Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, etc.). As for pricing and available formats, we’ll have to wait and see.
Final Thoughts
All in all, the Super Mario Bros. movie is shaping up to be a pretty exciting project. While we don’t know everything about it just yet, what we do know has us eagerly anticipating its release. In the meantime, we’ll just have to keep replaying our favorite Mario games and dreaming of what could be.
