The legendary Super Mario plumber, who is a true icon for the gaming industry, is back in business in 2023 with a brand new movie that’s simply called ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie .’ Mario will once again face new challenges in a long journey in which he needs to overcome the terrible Bowser and save the lovely Princess Peach.
Mario will also be accompanied by his trusted friend Luigi in his quest during the new movie. They will go through all sorts of challenges together that we all know from video games, such as navigating through pipes, racing using karts, and even wrestling against Donkey Kong.
‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ has been hitting theaters in many countries in recent months since the movie’s release, and it’s great to find out that it will soon become available on one of the most famous streaming platforms out there.
‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ launches for Netflix on December 3
On Sunday, December 3, ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ will become available for those who have a Netflix subscription, according to Vulture. This means that those who are willing to watch the animated movie on the famous streaming service will have to wait less than two weeks.
Super Mario has a long history behind it, as it was mainly introduced as a video game character. He is a plumber who constantly tries to save the Princess from the diabolical plans of Bowser, who frequently kidnaps her and does God knows what to the poor girl. Luigi is Mario’s right hand, and they both regularly join forces to overcome obstacles.
Super Mario has appeared in over 200 video games so far
There are more than 200 video games featuring Super Mario out there, and they belong to various genres. They can even be played on a variety of platforms. There are numerous sub-series, and perhaps the most notorious ones are Mario Kart, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Doctor Mario, and so on.
In the new ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie,’ everybody’s favorite plumber from video games will be voiced by Chris Pratt, an actor who is mostly famous for appearing in Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy. The role of Bowser will be taken by none other than Jack Black, who seems to have a perfect voice for a cartoon villain. As for the glamorous Princess Peach, she will be given life by Anya Taylor-Joy, a young actress who is famous for her main role in The Queen’s Gambit series, where she plays a brilliant chess player.
It’s difficult to imagine an actor more fit for the role of Bowser than Jack Black, as the famous actor has both a comedic vibe and an evil attitude when he needs to. Jack Black is famous for appearing in numerous comedy movies, and a few titles that come to mind are ‘School of Rock’ from 2003, ‘Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny’ from 2006, and ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ which was launched in 2017.
‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ has Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding out for a Hero” song as the main soundtrack, which seems to suggest that Mario can be the true man that society needs. While the Italian plumber might indeed have a goofy appearance, we all have to admit that fighting monsters capable of throwing flames and trying to save princesses from captivity are indeed pretty manly traits.
‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ was launched on April 5, 2023, in the US and distributed by Universal Pictures. It has a budget of $100 million.
