As initially discovered by @quinnmac000 on the Nintendo report, Chris Melandandri is being nominated as Nintendo's new Outside Director!

Considering the Nintendo CEO was saying they’re looking at more animated movies after Mario, this probably is good news for those movies staying at Uni

I'll need to see some actual footage before I can get excited about Mr. Meledandri taking on that role.

I would as well but if Nintendo is doing this it seems like a big vote of confidence that they like how the Mario movie is turning out.

A bit of an update, we have a character leak by an interview with Sebastian Maniscalco (I can already hear Nintendo NDA violators coming in) revealing that he would be playing Spike in the Super Mario Bros film, as the boss above Mario and Luigi.



The interesting thing here is, this might be a full on reference to Wrecking Crew, and the character of Foreman Spike (as he has appeared more recently in the Warioware series).

Spike

Spikes are Koopa enemies that throw spiked balls or rollers from within their mouths. They were designed by Hiroyuki Kimura at Nintendo, and they first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. Spikes have black Buzzy Beetle-like shells on their backs that...

I think This is the Spike we'd see in the film. He is a playable character in the last Mario Party game, could be wrong but would put my money on this this character

I wonder who's going to voice Mario and Luigi? Would it be the same Mario style as we seen in the past Nintendo games? After all, they're very known for not having any talking parts in their games, so seeing them talk and taking part of any story would be pretty weird.

Foreman Spike would certainly be cool to see return and makes a whole lot of sense as Mario and Luigi's gruff older boss. Would be interesting to bring him back like they did Pauline in Odyssey.

Chris Pratt is such a bad bad choice. Like wow.

 

[TheGentTrent]

Red flag! This tells me that they’re going to lean heavily on comedy (not that we didn’t already suspect that given Illumination’s involvement).

 

[jseal777]

That’s the kind of cast I would expect to see posted from a satire site.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

What did I read? lol

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Outside of Pratt, I love almost everyone in the cast. Jack Black and Charlie Day have been actors I've unironically thought of for those roles; so it's fascinating to see that turn out.

But damn is this weird or what.

[SailwiththeTide]

Wonder what kind of tie in to SNW opening in Hollywood? Does this push Hollywood back to late 2022?

 

[Nick]

I have nothing against any of those actors, but outside of Taylor-Joy, I hate this cast for a Mario movie.

Is this real life?

 

[Legacy]

The energy for this feels all over the place. Jack Black is kind inspired, but everyone else feels like awful fan-casting.
