Re: Former Mario Movie Star John Leguizamo Isn't Happy With The Casting On The New Film

I guess I’m in a minority but I love the original Super Mario bros movie, for what it is: a 90’s action comedy, and a fun romp. Seriously it’s a classic at my house my mom and dad are always STUNNED when I say it’s a hated movie!
I would LOVE to see a documentary about behind the scenes! Two married directors constantly bickering and wanting to turn SMB into a post-apocalyptic sci-if? That’s entertainment.
I know I’m white, and therefore have white privilege but I really don’t get the POC voice actors should only play POC characters (not what John’s saying here, but I feel it’s in that vein)
The directors certainly weren’t being progressive in the OG, John is Latino, but he can “pass” for white. Yes for more POC actors and color. Besides I love Kevin Michael Richardson’s work!
