One Mario voice actor will have a role in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but that will have a further negative impact on Chris Pratt's role.
Charles Martinet, the original Mario voice actor, will have voice cameos in the upcoming The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but that undermines Chris Pratt's casting in more ways than one. The new animated movie adaptation of the celebrated video game movie looks visually stunning, and the colorful world of the Mario games has been beautifully rendered. And to go with the big-budget sheen of the digital effects, big-name actors have been cast as the iconic video game plumbers.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Martinet was obviously given cameo voice roles out of respect and that he can be recognized for his essential contribution to the characters. But while Pratt is a hugely successful actor, starring in several billion-dollar-grossing movies, he simply sounds like himself in the trailers. Martinet has mentioned that he wants to voice Mario as long as possible, and that could have been the better of two options, especially following Pratt's casting controversy.
Mario's voice is part of what makes him iconic, but Pratt was obviously cast because of his bankability and the guaranteed audience he brings. However, as few people turned up to see Onward, which starred Pratt, movie stars in animated movies arguably aren't necessary. Chris Evans' role in Lightyear, which underperformed at the box office, further proves this.
Who Charles Martinet Could Be Voicing In The Super Mario Bros. Movie The Super Mario Bros. Movie cast is huge, with Jack Black, Seth Rogen, Charlie Day, and so many other well-known actors playing the iconic characters, so that doesn't leave many possibilities about who Martinet could be voicing. However, some characters have yet to be announced. Along with Mario and Luigi, Martinet has voiced Wario, Waluigi, Baby Mario, Dr. Mario, Metal Mario, and many others.
