Few media icons are as well known as Mario. The gaming character is known the world over for his gaming escapades spanning several decades. Now, Mario is heading to the movies, with an animated film set for release soon. But when can video-game fans expect to see this title hit theaters?
During their September 2021 Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced that Illumination's Super Mario movie will be release in theaters on December 21, 2022. Super Mario's animated film is sure to take the world by storm when it comes out next winter. While it isn't the first Mario movie made, it's one of the most ambitious projects in Nintendo's current lineup.
There will undoubtedly be some unforgettable voice performances for such prolific gaming characters with a star-studded cast, including Chris Pratt as Mario, Jack Black as Bowser, and Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong. While Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario in the video games, won't be voicing the character in the animated film, Illumination plans to have him on board for consultation when writing and directing the movie. There wasn't a trailer released, but be sure to look out for one in the coming months, as the film is fast approaching.
