Nintendo and Universal Pictures prepare the return to cinema of Super Mario Bros with a new animated movie that promises to increase the number of sales of the famous franchise.
Users are looking for Joaquín Cosío to become the interpreter of Bowser in this new animated installment that Illumination Studios prepares.
Surely you remember the official announcement that revealed the actor Luis Manuel Ávila, the same one who gave life to “Junior” in the Televisa program ‘La Familia P. Luche’, to be the new voice of “Gohan” in the new film of Dragon Ball Super. Well, all this was possible thanks to a Facebook group called “Mario Castañeda charged us”, which pressed through social networks to make this possible. However, a few days ago it was reported a new nomination and it’s about Joaquín Cosio for the voice of Bowser in the new Mario Bros.
It’s been nearly five years since we learned that the people at Nintendo announced that Mario would have his own animated feature film as a result of a collaboration between the Japanese company and the studio. IlluminationEntertainment, responsible for the prolific Gru saga, but last year the curiosity towards the project increased exponentially after we learned the names of its stellar cast.
Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Keegan Michael-Key, Seth Rogen, Charlie Day They are some of the list of voices that will give life to the characters of the universe of the mustachioed plumber; however, the main voice of the series will be Chris Pratt, which has promised a performance “unlike anything we’ve heard before.”
“I worked very closely with the directors, trying a few things, and we came up with something that I’m very proud of and can’t wait for people to see and hear. It is an animated narrative with voiceover. It is not a live action movie. I’m not going to put on a plumber’s suit and run around everywhere. I’m providing a voice for an animated character, it’s an upgrade and unlike anything you’ve heard before in the Mario universe.”
Mario Bros in numbers
Although his official occupation is that of a humble plumber, the video game icon’s net worth Mario stands at more than 805 billion dollars. The shocking revelation comes from a recent study conducted by the website Net Credit which ranks twelve popular video game characters in terms of their accumulated wealth in real-world value.
How much money does Nintendo make from Mario?
According to the June 2021 sales report, se have sold more than 388 Super Mario games and more than 22 billion dollars in sales revenue were estimated; Over 758 copies of the entire Mario series have been sold as of June 2021. Worldwide video game sales totaled over a billion units, making it the best-selling franchise in history.
Nevertheless, This is not the only movie about a video game that is being produced,another example is Minecraft: the film is also one of the most anticipated and while it was originally set to have a release date of March 4, 2022, the pandemic shakeup of movie schedules has left the adaptation undated for now.
There have been no recent updates beyond the release date cancellation, but as far as we know, the director of Infinite Playlist Nick & Norah, Peter Sollett, he is still in the project manager’s chair.
Joaquin Cosio as the voice of Bowser
Users are looking for Joaquín Cosío to become the interpreter of Bowser in the animated film that Illumination Studios prepares for Super Mario Bros.
Fortunately, his own Joaquin Cosiowhom many know for having played “Cochiloco” in El Infierno, and other emblematic Mexican films, reacted to the fancast of Bowser, liking the tweets of some users on Twitter who share an image in which you can read:
“This home supports Joaquín Cosío as the voice of Bowser. I am a Believer”, so let’s cross our fingers so that this dream on the part of the followers of Latin American dubbing becomes a reality.
The above tells us about the power of social networks and the power that fans currently have to make what they want to consume in the entertainment sector come true, as happened with Marvel who chose John Krasinski as Mr. Fantastic due to pressure of the fans and only time will tell if Joaquin Cosio turns into Bowser.
