Hollywood star Chris Pratt is extremely happy about getting a chance to voice the iconic mustachioed plumber Mario in the upcoming animated film, Super Mario Bros. In a recent conversation with Variety, Chris opened up about his experience working on the project. Super Mario Bros Movie Delayed To 2023, Confirms Nintendo Leader Shigeru Miyamoto.

"I worked really closely with the directors and trying out a few things and landed on something that I'm really proud of and can't wait for people to see and hear. It's an animated voiceover narrative. It's not a live-action movie. I'm not gonna be wearing a plumber suit running all over. I'm providing a voice for an animated character, and it is updated and unlike anything you've heard in the Mario world before," he said.

The voice ensemble also includes Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike. Thor – Love and Thunder: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Christian Bale and Others Serve Wow Fashion at the Red Carpet Premiere.
