Finally, the first trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie arrived, and we heard Chris Pratt’s voice coming out of the iconic video game plumber’s mouth.
Thursday, October 6, Nintendo and Illumination Studios used the first day of New York Comic-Con to unveil the trailer for the highly anticipated feature-length film based on the iconic Nintendo platform game.
Jack Black, who voices King Bowser in the animated film, was on hand to reveal the trailer to the world. When The Super Mario Bros. Movie was first announced, the most significant question mark revolved around Chris Pratt and how he would sound as the fictional video game character.

After watching the roughly 2-minute teaser trailer, Mario sounds like Chris Pratt.
Outside of that, The Super Mario Bros. Movie features some gorgeous animation. Jack Black sounds amazing as Bowser, and the film looks promising. We get only a few lines out of Pratt’s Mario in the trailer, and many are disappointed, but we here at Hip-Hop Wired will refrain from rating his performance of a small sample size.

But let’s focus on the good that is this project. For the most part, it looks like it will be a pretty damn good animated film adaptation of Super Mario Bros., regardless of their not using Charles Martinet as the voice of Mario.
Regarding the plot, it seems Bowser is on a quest to collect stars, and Mario heads to the Mushroom Kingdom to stop him.
Twitter Reactions Are Positive Except For When It Comes To Chris Pratt
From day one, no one wanted Chris Pratt to be the voice of Mario. His alleged MAGA ties, plus Star-Lord being the reason Thanos won (Doctor Strange said it was the only way), didn’t sit well with fans. So the reactions to him being the voice are still negative, even though we didn’t get the full experience.

Chris Pratt's voice is still jarring to hear coming out of Mario but everything else in the Mario trailer looked amazing. I'm genuinely excited to see this thing pic.twitter.com/3QCP7oJc0k

Its so fucked up how Charles Martinet has to sit there and just watch someone voice a character he’s been voicing since literal forever bring absolutely nothing to the table. The most lifeless performance ever. Like Charles in the movie too and he’s just NOT MARIO SOO FUCKED UPPP

Mario has no ass in the movie because it’s a plot point. He will realise that the only way to defeat Bowser is butt stomp. Training montage. Isn’t able to get caked and cushioned. Shoves mushroom up ass. It grows. Slow mo butt stomp on Bowser’s fuckin face to Baby Got Back.
