Seth Rogen’s Donkey Kong and Cat Mario square off in the latest Super Mario Bros Movie trailer

[ad_1]

Nintendo and Illumination have released a new trailer for the Super Mario Bros Movie.

This squishy little figure gives us another look at the movie’s upcoming power-ups, with Mario dressed as a cat to do battle. It also lets us hear what Seth Rogen thinks of Donkey Kong. Well, he looks like Seth Rogen.

The setting of this small teaser will be familiar to those who have been following the film’s trailers so far. It’s the same airborne colosseum-like arena that we’ve seen Mario get beaten up by Donkey Kong before. The new video, which you can see below, is titled Smash. So, Smash Bros.?

About monkey!

Thanks to that last clip, we’ve now heard most of the film’s main cast in their roles. However, we still haven’t heard anything significant from Mario’s Chris Pratt. This trailer provides us with a “meow,” so I guess that’s something, but it really didn’t give us anything controversial to argue about casting Pratt – something that’s still somewhat controversial.

After the trailer for Super Mario Bros. In October, voice actor Tara Strong (best known for her roles as Harley Quinn, Batgirl, and Fairly Odd Parents’ Timmy Turner) penned a series of tweets lamenting the decision not to cast longtime Mario voice actor Charles Martinet in the lead role.

“Voice actors – I will put my heart and soul into this for at least 20 years, help sell billions of merchandise, make studios millions of dollars and keep generations all over the world happy. Hollywood – we don’t care,” she wrote.

Former Luigi actor John Leguizamo also shared, saying he considers film studio Illumination’s decision not to cast an actor of color in a lead role for the film to be a “reverse.”
