Illumination has now locked in a Comic-Con "teaser trailer premiere" of the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie for October 6th.
If you're concerned at all, apparently there's nothing to worry about according to Hollywood actor Chris Pratt - who will be voicing Mario in the film. In a brief message via social media, Chris stated how he's already just seen the teaser for himself and was "simply blown away". He goes on to promise Mario fans will be as well.
Chris Pratt - "I just saw the teaser trailer for the very first time myself. I am simply blown away. You will be too, I promise you. This one is VERY special. Cannot wait!!! #SuperMarioBrosMovie
Chris has previously hyped up his Mario voice - mentioning how it's "updated" and "unlike anything" fans have heard in the Mario world before.
Once again, this teaser trailer will air exclusively to New York Comic Con attendees on 6th October at 4pm EST. Apart from Pratt, other cast members include Charlie Day (Pacific Rim) as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen's Gambit) as Princess Peach, Jack Black (School of Rock) as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key (Toy Story 4) as Toad and Seth Rogan (Pineapple Express) as Donkey Kong.

GAHH! IM SO EXCITED! Forget the haters, i get that they're cautious but as for me i'm just so ding dang hyped!!!! bring on the trailer, nycc!
I'm stoked. He won't go two-for-two stinkers with Jurassic World Dominion and then this movie statistically. I think this one's gonna be good!
The 'Super' part of Mario Bros. journey are the bros we made along the way.
... Wun can only hope.
....They always say that.
@PoorGeno And what was wrong with Jurassic World? If you didn't like it doesn't mean it was bad
As for this Mario movie i think it might be pretty good since movie creators started to listen to fans. Look for example Sonic turned out to be quite good atleast i liked it.
@iaLgan its undisputed, the animation in Dominion was terrible
I really wonder what that voice will be like. We‘re used to hearing Charles Martinet as Mario for over 20 years now, it will be strange.
Whatever it will be like, I‘m sure Nintendo-focused Youtube channels will be filled with new memes and for that alone it‘s worth it.
@DAHstroy Im not saying it was awesome it was an OK movie nothing is perfect. But to say it was terrible is incorrect Yet again who cares the topic is about Mario And duffman what are we used to ? mario voice is like what 4-8 lines "ohhh nooo"
Everytime I try to get a bit hopeful for this movie, I read the cast list. I just hope if they go the meta-route the script is solid.
I’m excited for this film! I’ll just be glad if they don’t force a woke agenda into this project. Thankfully Nintendo has it’s head on straight.
I’m actually really excited for it! I’m not too worried about Mario’s voice, but we had the Mario tv show and that voice was different as different can be, so. I’m sure i will enjoy it ether way.
To think Sonic and mario will have some of the best video game movies to be made, that would be so cool!
The guy who was the protagonist in the worst Jurassic movie ever said that this is going to be great? Well, I'm in!
Thanks, Chris-san
He's so cool.
He is hardly going to come out and say "sorry it's a bit pants".
I'm cautiously optimistic for the Mario movie.
I cant wait! Nintendo is finally back in the movie world.
And also that they bought an anime company!
So i really hope the teaser trailer blows me away
Let's be real- a teaser trailer isn't going to blow anybody away.
Kinda tired of this weird fascination of replacing (or not hiring) professional voice actors in favour of famous actors... it even happened with Final Fantasy VII Remake, where the people who had been voicing the characters in English for almost 20 years were all unceremoniously thrown out, (it didn't happen with any other language) and they weren't happy about it... I wish more people cared about that...
Imagine the new Mario voice will be deeper and more masculine.
I trust Chris Pratt’s assessment of this trailer. He is so impartial and cool.
@Dom_31
Dude only voiced the bros and evil bros but okay
There is no reason to have hope in Pratt as Mario. But somehow let this be good.
Oh, well if Chris Pratt is promising me then it must be good...
...
It’s not like he will say it’s a waste of money… in this industry they all like to hype everything, just to get a little bit more money.
I hope the movie is good, but I ain't taking a recommendation from him.
I really hope the film is good but regardless of whether it is or not i can't wait for the Charles Martinet dub.
Video game movies are not my cup of tea. Even if this one is well received, I would have personally preferred a new 3D Mario game instead of a movie.
That said, Nintendo will probably earn a lot of money from this movie. I hope that whatever changes occur to the Mario series via the movie do not spill over into the game universe. Charles Martinet will always be Mario to me.

@steventonysmith So check your facts It made alot of money from those movies and the critics well received it so.. i don't know from which perspective they were trash. If you don't want to admit that they were good oh well your problem.
Plus don't say it's a fact when it's not.
@iaLgan
Making lots of money doesn't make a movie good
Jurassic World - 59%
https://www.metacritic.com/movie/jurassic-world
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom - 51%
https://www.metacritic.com/movie/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom
Jurassic World Dominion - 38%
https://www.metacritic.com/movie/jurassic-world-dominion
Yeah the critics loved them 🙄
Guy in film says his film trailer is awesome
Wow. Someone who's working on a movie, vouching for said movie? That's new.
Watched uncharted last nite with no expectations. Was pretty good x
@iaLgan I don't think I'm smarter than you, friend, just more critical. Jurassic World 3's weakness was it's tangential and poorly written script. Giant bugs? Ian's final line to the antagonist was only saved by Goldblum's masterful delivery. The chaos/numberpad scene was a brilliant idea but totally mishandled for tension and comedy. Claire getting a rope tied around her foot felt forced, and the ensemble "recognizing eachother" dialogues were plain and uninspired, or downright socially unlikely. A genetically modified teenager living in hiding can recognise grant from the lapel of one of his books? Come on. No way.
Also, Sonic 2 was nanners. Half of it was refferences to the first half. The other half was a wedding between two non-characters that vastly overstayed it's welcome. It was practically bad on purpose.
Both movies were not fully bad, but neither was "good" in my estimation. Kind of like The Last Jedi. Nuggets of value, only, where quality should conceivably have been FAR more plentiful. Absolutely squandered, wasted opportunities, and I'm sick of being a no one who could have delivered a better final product myself.
@steventonysmith Oh my god im not saying it's an awesome movie im saying it's a good one or atleast above average. What's the problem with it? IMDB also rates movies like 5 or 4 yet the movie is well more than 9. Relax. You didn't like it i get it! Leave it at that.
PoorGeno Sonic was good either you want it or not ! Second was even better.
Scarface or Jaws are rated both by people and critics like the best movies. I didn't like both so? That doesn't mean they are bad. I just didn't like them.
Oh got a comparison Terminator 1-2 was awesome 3 and so on were terrible ! Not the case for Jurrasic.
>blown away
>illumination
shame im not as optimistic as he is
He has to be “blown away”. He needs to respect his contract and talk nice about the movies he stars in. I’m not saying it’s not good, but what Pratt says doesn’t mean too much really.
@iaLgan people keep hating on Terminator 3, not quite sure why, good action scenes.. maybe the plot is too similar to the second film? Otherwise I see little wrong with it.
As for Mario, who knows how it will turn out, as with everything else everyone has their own opinion.
April 7th is my birthday..
Just awaiting the let down, the 90s film is so bad it's good in my eyes, but the Sonic films weren't too bad so here's hoping.

@FlyingFoxy
Terminator 3 had an impossible task of having to be as good or better than Terminator 2. While it failed at doing that it was still better than all the Terminator movies to follow
I hope Princess Peach is African American we could really do with some more diversity.
@JJ_64
Sorry to tell you but they already announced her voice actress and she's as white as they come
I don't have high expectations. I think at best it will be serviceable. I actually hope it's really cringeworthy/so bad it's good because it will make for legendary internet memes and fun.
I thought the only storyline that could be easily adapted into a movie was Mario + Rabbids. But I don't think that's the way they are going so now I hope it's more like the Lego movie and has fun making fun of how silly the "lore" of the Mario universe is while still paying respects to it
guy whose in movie and has to sell movie says the movie will blow you away lol
My thoughts are the same as with many recent projects from franchises I've enjoyed in the past:
Please don't suck.
Please don't suck.
Please don't suck.
Please don't suck.
What's he's supposed to say?
It sucks dont go see it?
🤷♂️
My 10 year old nephew will love this movie.
Lets go on an adventure where Mario tames a dinosaur. One is given the name, Yoshi and they go to beat up a giant turtle. Donkey Kong is also there, but only to sing music numbers.
I’m willing to believe Chris Pratt. Can’t wait to see the teaser trailer.
It could be awful, and I’m still going to see it. Probably multiple times. It’s-a-Mario.
gonna be odd hearing Mario with a different voice since Charles been voicing him for 20 something years so its very iconic, I just hope its not terrible
as a longtime Mario fan, i worried the Mario movie by Illumination could be a trainwreck(please do be a trainwreck).
I'd be blown away if I was getting paid as much as him lol
Also be interesting to see if he puts on an Italian accent when he's not Italian if there's any backlash given the Simpsons scrapped Apu & replaced the voice actor for dr hibbert
He's hardly going to say it's awful is he?
And it's a teaser - you wont hear him talk.
I guess if the lead of the movie says it’s good then there absolutely no reason to worry about! Good thing he graced us with his unbiased opinion. I am excited to see how it will turn out. 😉
This Teaser Is Gonna Be A Bomb
to be honest I am nervous... bc I know everyone is really hyped about this, but let's all remember that FREAKING CHRIS PRATT IS MARIO
Regardless of what's going to be shown the internet is going to find something to complain about. There'll probably be petitions and YouTube trailer breakdowns and articles. Then it'll come out anyway and life will go on.
Uh guys, this is marketing. Was Chris Pratt blown away? Maybe, maybe not. But he said he was to sell the movie.
@steventonysmith Saw all the Jurassic comments and uh, I'm half convinced you're a child yourself. You had to tear apart some random comment for thinking a movie you didn't like was decent? As an adult, I'd have thought you knew what opinions were: but, that's okay if you missed that bit in school. Just because "the critics said so!" doesn't mean it's fact.
I've seen you on this site a decent amount lately and you only make negative comments, it gets a tad annoying.
I'd agree Jurassic Park 1 was the best though, after that I guess I'd say Lost World and Jurassic World. However, that's my opinion and I can see you don't care for those.
Well, that sure sounds promising!
Why people are so obsessed with the idea that this movie sucks when we haven't seen literally anything about it? Regardless of the studio's reputation it's precisely because of the live action fiasco that Nintendo is being heavily involved this time, which is more of what we can say about the average videogame adaptation

"air"?

"Mario tv show"?
"voice"?
@TopazLink Because it's not up to the fans but producers who want big names no matter how easy the movie can sell itself, Martinet is in it but with a different role so at least they have the decency to recognize how important he is to the franchise
@Duffman92You may have. I grew up with the silent game and gruff New York cartoon Mario and Luigi.
That aside, I think Pratt's Mario voice will be generic. But I'll take it over the obnoxious, high-pitched yapping of Martinet any day of the week. Listening to him wahoo and woo ha in a game is like listening to your neighbor's little dog constant barking.
@EriXz That's a good point
@steventonysmith Like how you didn't acknowledge the fact that I said you don't know what opinions are. Probably because it's too big of word though, my apologies for that. I've been on sites like this long enough to know people who resort to someone's profile picture in an argument are truly lost. I hope you learn what opinions are sometime soon poor little man.
P.S. Just because I have TP in my profile picture doesn't mean I love Wolf Link lol, he's super annoying to play as. The positives outweigh the negatives for that game though. In my opinion of course.

@steventonysmith Tank you : D
If Christ Pratt himself is excited, then that must be a good sign.
The real question is, did Chris Pratt say highly things about all his movies or only ones he believed in. If not I think we can take his word for it.
What else would he say? He's not going to say the teaser sucks. Up next: McDonald's executive says McDonald's new burger is delicious.
Okay, let's try to imagine if new Mario voice sounds exactly like Barley voice by Chris Pratt from Onward.
I'll wait to see some footage before making any declarations
@FlyingFoxy Nice to see someone else who enjoyed Terminator 3. Is it as great as Judgement Day? No. But it's still entertaining, great chemistry with the leads. Kristanna Loken was great as a Terminator. Arnie is Arnie. Lastly, I've always appreciated that it commits to Skynet and Judgement Day. It shouldn't have surprised me when I had first watched the movie. But I remember being shocked that they actually allowed it to happen.
They just PAID him to say it, to hype the populace. Lots of film companies do it. It's probably not gonna beat Sonic the Hedgehog as best video game movie.
@steventonysmith I will admit, I don't like either one of the Jurassic World movies, but not because some review website said so, it's because I formed my own opinion. At least from what you're implying, you just hate movies just because a bunch of film critics said so. While I do enjoy Rotten Tomatoes and IMBd and even Metacritic to some extent, I don't want them to be my be-all, end-all opinion.
Well Marvel's Eternals has gotten a worse rating than Thor Dark World, but I still like Eternals more that Dark World. Don't get me wrong, I don't like either one, but I still disagree with the rating of both movies, and that's ok. So Spider-Man No Way Home got a slightly better score than Spider-Verse, but I don't care, I like Spider-Verse slightly more. Hell, I'll even say that Iron Man 3 is way better than people give if credit for.
Even if you aren't letting these review sites form your own opinion, you're still saying "ok, enjoy your terrible movies then while I watch masterpieces like the Emoji Movie" when someone else disagrees with you, which is just full-on rude, in fact, that comment towards FroZtedFlake is the only reason I even bothered replying to you.
I'm not saying you're wrong for disliking any movies that someone else enjoys. What I'm saying is that you shouldn't completely invaildate someone's opinion just because they like Lost World, or because of their goddamn profile picture.
I thought the last movie was fine.
^ I'm not even being sarcastic. Mario '93 was great!
Nobody batted an eye when Captain Lou Albano or Bob Hopkins was Mario. But everyone loses their freaking minds when Chris Pratt is Mario huh?
@Mazor775 I think that was pre-Charles
I'm psyched!!!!
Words!
Please, please, please be good! I'm so excited and can't wait for the trailer.
Man who is staring in and promoting film, says; "you will be blown away! I promise you" riiiight. Not to say it wont be good, but you cant trust these kind of comments regardless lol.
@FlyingFoxy I like Terminator 3 for being a movie where the villain wins despite what the heroes do to stop them. It's not something you see too often in action movies, at least from what I've seen. It's not my favorite Terminator movie but I don't mind it.
Something I want is a Terminator movie that feels more like the first movie rather than the second one.
