Re: Stand-Up Comedian Reveals His Role In The Upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie

I don't want to confirm that Charles Martinet isn't in it. He said in a video that he has not been approached but I cannot imagine that he was not asked or not approached. Strange that another (side) character is mentioned by name but that the protagonist, who has been the voice of Mario for almost 30 years "hasn't even been approached yet". Either Charles isn't in it and doesn't say this, or he's in it and doesn't say it. We are now some time further. If this new character already has to be voiced, then the "new" voice of Mario (and Luigi etc) must also be approached. Oh yeah. And who does the voice of Luigi, Waluigi, Wario, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi? If Charles is not in it, at least 6 characters would have to be recast (7 if King Toadsworth is also in it). Another flop after 1993 would be that Mario's original voice would be cut out and replaced by a well-known Hollywood star. Would be a shame. But as a voice actor (recorded films myself) I know that this is not inconceivable in this world either. Unfortunately. Anyway. Let's go!
