The release date for Universal and Illumination Entertainment’s movie adaptation of Nintendo’s "Super Mario Bros." video game franchise has shifted its release date from April 7 to April 5 in the US and 60 other markets across the world.
The movie is also slated to hit several other markets including Japan on April 28.
The runtime for the movie is expected to be 92 minutes and 17 seconds long. The movie is the first cinematic adventure of the beloved Italian plumber and his gang in almost three decades.
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 movie is Nintendo's second attempt at a theatrical adventure. 1993’s Super Mario Bros. was a cinematic disaster to put it lightly and made Nintendo keep their precious IP from leaving the gaming space for the next 30 years.
At that time Mario practically invented the 3D platformer with classics like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine while also reaching a wider audience with his highly successful racing sub-franchise Mario Kart. Both his platforming and racing history will play a major part in this film with things like Rainbow Road and the karts found in Mario Kart fully realized for the big screen.
