While Hoskins whom you might recognize from his work inWho Framed Roger Rabbit?
“They fought really hard, and it was such a breakthrough.
For them to go backwards and not cast another [actor of color] kind of sucks.”
Judging from the first trailer at least, Pratt’s Mario voice…is basically just Pratt’s voice.
But in any case, Leguizamo has a point: A lot of peopledolove the originalSuper Mario Bros.movie.
But over the years, it’s grown in cult status.
Hollywood will probably never make anything as weird and silly ever again.
As for the newSuper Mario Bros. Movie, it will hit theaters April 7.
