The Mario Bros Movie trailer was released live to coincide with its appearance at New York Comic-Con, and the Illumination movie is scheduled to premiere on April 7, 2023.

The special Nintendo Direct aired on YouTube and also aired in a conference room at NYCC. The animation is almost over on the movie, after which it turns off.

Of course, Mario (Chris Pratt) also makes an appearance, and he is. sounds exactly like Chris Pratt. You can watch the trailer for Super Mario Bros.

“I went with a small method,” explains Jack. I did a lot of research for this role. “And really the only research you can do is play all the games…so that’s what I did.
