The official trailer was revealed for Universal and Illumination Entertainment’s movie adaptation of Nintendo’s "Super Mario Bros." video game franchise.
The footage features more Mario video game references and even more Mushroom Kingdom residents.
The voice ensemble includes Chris Pratt as Mairo Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike.
Original Mario voice actor Charles Martinet will have a cameo role in the movie.
"Super Mario Bros." is directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic from a script by Matt Fogel.
The footage gives the first look at Donkey Kong, Princess Peach, several power-ups such as Mario’s Tanooki suit and a fire flower as well as the iconic Rainbow Road course from “Mario Kart”.
It starts with Mario facing off against Donkey Kong in a massive gladiator ring overseen by Toad, Princess Peach, and another ape who appears to be Cranky Kong. Just like a “Super Smash Bros.” showdown, Donkey Kong pummels Mario to a pulp.
It also featured Charlie Day’s voice as Luigi for the first time as he’s taken prisoner by Jack Black’s Bowser. The evil villain describes his plan to take over the world, complete with his army of Shy Guys, Koopa Troopa, Goombas, Piranha Plants, and Bob-ombs. The only problem standing in Bowser’s way is the Italian plumbing protagonist.
“The Super Marios Bros. Movie” hits theaters on April 7.
