Something is happening with Mario’s voice in the new Nintendo video game adaptation, ‘Super Mario Bros. Animated’. In November last year, Christopher Meledandri, producer of the film and CEO of Illumination, had to come to Chris Pratt’s defense after the controversy that arose over the actor’s choice to voice the plumber. He took the opportunity to reveal that this Mario will not have an Italian accent. After the news that the film would be postponed to 2023, the last thing that was known was that Melenandri was out again to reaffirm his choice of Pratt as an actor and highlight his great work as The Mustache.
Now, as the actor himself explained in an interview with Variety, we know will be the voice that will put Mario “Unlike anything we’ve ever heard before”. The American outlet had the opportunity to chat with the “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Jurassic World” actor at the premiere of his new Prime Video series, “The Final List”. Despite fears that this mysterious new rumor could be offensive to Italian or Italian-American audiences, the actor (and previously the producer himself) has taken it upon himself to make sure it’s something totally different than what we’ve seen. Before.
“I’ve worked closely with the directors and tried new things. I’m very proud of what came out and can’t wait for people to hear it.”Pratt said. “It’s an animated voiceover story, it’s not a live movie. I’m not going to wear a plumber suit and go all over the place. I voice an animated character, he’s up-to-date and unlike anything you’ve ever heard in the world of Mario before”.
Other dinosaurs?
While the reviews aren’t the best, the truth is that “Jurassic World: Dominion” is doing very well at the box office. That’s why, when asked if he would play Owen Grady again, he stated it “I should read the script”. Although he has no intention of returning to the Jurassic saga, he does not rule it out. “I can think of a million ways to bring Owen back, but I wish it were something authentic, real and worthy of history. I would say no, but I guess it can’t be 100% ruled out”.
