‘Super Mario Bros. The Movie’ is currently showing in cinemas
“Super Mario Bros. The Movie” just made its long-awaited theatrical release, but fans — and even some of the cast — are already clamoring for a sequel.
During a recent interview with GameSpot, reported by the Omelete portal, the actor Jack Blackresponsible for voicing Bowser in the animation, revealed his desire for a continuation of the production, despite not being sure about his return, in addition to revealing that, in the new feature, he would like the star Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) was cast as Wario, Mario’s archenemy.
“It’s not certain that Bowser will return. I mean, I did a few Kung Fu Panda movies, and he was a different villain every movie. They can do the same thing. What if there is a more powerful and evil villain? So I might need to help Mario and the rest defend our universe against some other evil force. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? War. Pedro Pascal is Wario.”, said Black.
According to information released by The Wrap, “Super Mario Bros. The Movie” became the animation with the biggest global opening last weekend, surpassing the value of 377 million dollars at the international box office in its first weekend alone.
With the achievement, the production surpassed the record that belonged to “Frozen 2”, a sequel to one of Disney’s biggest franchises, which managed to raise 358 million dollars in its first weekend in 2019.
In addition, the new Mario film also became the highest-opening feature among video game adaptations. The feature film about Nintendo characters managed to surpass “Warcraft”, which grossed 210 million dollars in 2016.
