It might not be every serious actor’s dream to play a video game character. But when Nintendo announced plans to team up with Illumination, the studio behind Despicable Me, for a new Super Mario movie, fans couldn’t get enough of the news. And no wonder: Look at this cast. Chris Pratt as Mario, Jack Black as Bowser, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong and Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach. The movie is animated, so the actors will only provide voices of their characters, but still. Fans had reactions to Thursday’s news. „So the 2 main characters… they just casted whoever was free huh?“ wrote one person. „What timeline are we living in?“ asked the official account for the Among Us game. Snarked one Twitter user, „The Mario cast is so unhinged you could literally just put any actor’s picture next to a character from the series and I’d believe it was real.
