The beloved video game character Mario has been an icon in the gaming world for over three decades. Mario is a fictional character created by the game designer Shigeru Miyamoto and first appeared in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong. Since then, Mario has been featured in numerous video games, merchandise, and even a poorly received Hollywood movie.

However, it seems that Mario doesn't need a movie to maintain his superstar status. The video games alone have been more than enough to cement his status as a pop culture icon. But that hasn't stopped fans from eagerly anticipating the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie.
The trailer for the new movie features a Mario Kart-inspired scene where Mario and his friends ride the Rainbow Road. The movie will feature Mario's brother, Luigi, being held captive by Bowser. In addition to Luigi, Bowser has taken other prisoners in the Mushroom Kingdom, and it's up to Mario, Princess Peach, Toad, and even Donkey Kong to save them all.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a collaboration between Nintendo, Illumination, and Universal Pictures. Chris Pratt lends his voice to Mario, and while some fans were initially skeptical of his casting, many are willing to give him a chance. Jack Black steals the trailer with his performance as Bowser, while Anya Taylor-Joy and Charlie Day bring a lot of life to Peach and Luigi, respectively. Keegan-Michael Key also stars as the voice of Toad, with Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, and Sebastian Maniscalco as Foreman Spike.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, with a script by Matthew Fogel. The movie is set to be released in theaters on April 5th, and fans are eagerly awaiting its arrival. It remains to be seen if the movie will live up to fans' expectations, but for now, the trailer has generated a lot of excitement.
Conclusion:
The Super Mario Bros. franchise has been a staple in the gaming world for over three decades, and it's exciting to see the beloved characters come to life in a new way. While the 1993 Hollywood movie adaptation was widely regarded as a disappointment, fans are hopeful that the new movie will do justice to the beloved characters and their world. The movie's release is sure to be a major event for fans of the franchise, and it will be interesting to see how it's received by audiences around the world.
