Nintendo announced in 2018 that he was working on a Super Mario Bros movie. However, since then, not much has been known about the state of it, just as we have not been able to see a trailer or images of its development. Now, however, we have been able to have a little update on the development of it, and it has been thanks to a slip that has had one of his voice actors in a recent interview.
It’s about the actor Sebastian maniscalco, who has participated in films such as Green Book or The Irishman. Maniscalco blurted out during a recent interview at the podcast Bertcast that “I’m in the movie Super Mario Bross, an animated movie, where I play Spike, his boss“, to finish adding at the end that “That’s what I’m going to do at 12«. Thanks to this, we not only know that the film is currently in production, but also the voices are already being recorded.
Spike was introduced by Nintendo as a green bug with bugs in Super Mario Bros. 3, and has since had a few cameos in other recent games like Paper Mario The Origami King and Mario Tennis Ace. However, the «Spike»To which Maniscalco would refer would be to Foreman Spike, character that we have seen in Wrecking Crew, game of NES, and that some consider a «precursor»Of the famous Waluigi.
At the time, the president of Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa, assured that the film of I knew Mario Bros was targeting a 2022 release, so it might end up arriving just in time. It seems that the development of the film was not too affected by the pandemic, and that its development it has been going quite well since its inception. Nintendo seems to be preparing to compete against greats like Disney, and it seems they want to release more movies over many other of their franchises.
