Yesterday, during the Nintendo Direct, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed the actors who will participate in the film of Super Mario Bros. This announcement surprised more than one, since personalities like Seth Rogan and Jack Black are involved in this project. However, it was the decision to cast Chris Pratt, known for his work on Guardians of the Galaxy, in the role of Mario that left more than one stunned. After a couple of hours of silence, the actor has finally decided to talk about his new role.
Through his official account on Instagram, Pratt talked about how happy he is to play Mario, and even said “It’s-a-me, Mario” with a classic accent.. This was what he commented:
“There was a coin-operated laundromat near my house and it had Super Mario Bros., the original arcade game. I loved that game. I never had a coin, so I had to steal it from a wish fountain. The coin I stole from the wishing well to play Super Mario Bros. has come true, and I will be the voice of Mario, but I clearly stole someone else’s wish. So I’m just waiting for that row of karma dominoes to fall on me, but as it is now, It’s-a-me, Mario.
That is not the voice. You will have to wait to hear the voice.
We have been working hard on that and I am very excited to announce that I am going to be the voice of that video game that I dreamed of playing as a kid. Dreams come true”.
‘It’s a-me, Mario’ 🛠
Chris Pratt says the line, but we’ll ‘have to wait to hear the voice’ that he’s been ‘working hard’ on
