Over the past few days Illumination Entertainment, Nintendo and Universal Pictures have been releasing character posters for “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” with the last few seemingly arriving today.
The one-sheets include Chris Pratt as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong along with a landscape one-sheet featuring several characters overlooking the Mushroom Kingdom.
All of these boast backdrops from the familiar with many of them familiar to those who’ve played the games (and look closely for some easter eggs). All seven have been included in the gallery below.
This adaptation of the popular Nintendo games follows two Brooklyn plumbers who are brothers and best friends: Mario, the brave one with the ‘let’s-a-go’ attitude, and the perpetually anxious Luigi, who would prefer to go nowhere.
The pair are forced to leave behind their struggling plumbing business and wind up in a whirlwind adventure through the Mushroom Kingdom as they try to unite the land in an effort to defeat Bowser.
“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” is being directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic (“Teen Titans Go! To the Movies”) from a screenplay by Matthew Fogel (“Minions: The Rise of Gru”). Chris Meledandri and Shigeru Miyamoto are producing.
The film’s voice cast also includes Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike. It opens internationally from March 31st and hits the U.S. on April 7th.
