After several trailers hiding Chris Pratt’s Mario voice, the directors of The Super Mario Bros. movies still think this is a good idea
press cycle, we’re still waiting to actually hear this voice. Oneargue that the marketing hides Chris Pratt’s take on Mario’s voice. Three trailers in, he still feels miscast,hear Pratt’s Italian accent has only fueled more speculation that it’s worse than we think. Thus far, we heard Mario say, “Mushroom Kingdom, here we come,” and “Alright, let’s a-go” in a manner that could be described as Chris Pratt’s normal speaking voice with a slight tinge of the accent to make fans happy.
Nevertheless, the film’s directors, Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath, say Chris Pratt made “total sense.” Way more sense than, say, an actual voice actor , like Charles Martinet, who has voiced Mario for decades and probably deserves the sweet payday and notoriety that comes from a massive Hollywood picture. Still, for this movie, Horvath says Pratt was the guy.“For us, it made total sense,” the director stressed about casting Pratt.
How’s Mario characterized in this movie? According to Horvath, this is more of an “origin” story “of Mario becoming Super Mario.” It’s about “a blue-collar guy from a family of Italian immigrants,” which explains why he sounds like Chris Pratt unless he’s doing one of his catchphrases. “We wanted to make this movie a very authentic Nintendo Super Mario experience,” he said. “From story to visual development to the animation, Nintendo has been with us every step of the way.
