NEWS: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie's Trailer Reveals 2 New Cast Members, April 3 Premiere (Updated)

I hope we can get a Luigi's Mansion movie next.

There are signs and hints that Pikmin might get a movie. I personally think they would do very well as short movies before the Nintendo feature films because dang it I miss having all those great short Pixar films.

Considering how big of a Nintendo nerd/fan Brie Larson is, like Jack Black I bet her performance will be great.

It's a nice trailer, the part with Luigi complimenting Bowser's paiting was pretty amusing. I find it interesting that, unlike some other Western animated film trailers, this focuses more in the action scenes. Is also interesting that Nintendo and Illumination haven't officially revealed Yoshi's appearence, I have the feeling Yoshi is going to be a very popular character among the kids seeing the movie, you would think they would emphasize his presence.
As for Brie Larson as Rosalina, well, I don't have anything against her, she's a very talented actress, I liked her roles in other movies, but this is not going to stop some people from making drama content about the casting, it's probably going to be worse than the discussion centered around Chris Pratt as Mario.
As with happened with the first Mario movie, when this arrives on theaters next year I'll have to watch it dubbed, since animated kids movies are almost always shown dubbed in theaters where I live, not that I'm complaining, because the first Mario movie's Neutral Spanish dub was very well made and it was the first Illumination movie dub where all of the main characters were vocied by professional dub actors instead of celebrities. I wouldn't mind if Brie Larson's usual Neutral Spanish dub VA, Jessica Ángeles, would voice Rosalina in the dub, since it also wouldn't be the first Nintendo character she voiced, as she's also voiced Princess Zelda in Breath of the Wild, its sequel and spin-offs.

[ though.No problem with the casting. Brie should probably avoid tweeting about the audience though unless negative marketing is the strategy here.

It will undoubtedly create dumb, useless drama.

I never understood the Pratt debate.

Either he’s an overexposed and so-so actor in certain roles.

Or he’s a MAGA/MAGA Apologist who you can’t like because of that.

Or both.

I think most of the complaints were mainly because it was pretty much at the exact same time when they replaced Charles Martinet (I forget if they officially announced him retiring from the role then or before, I know a lot of people kind of cracked it when Super Mario Wonder came out) and then they still had him in the movie, so a lot of people were like "but Charles Martinet is literally right there, why not let the Mario guy do Mario?"
