The Super Mario Bros. Movie Trailers
The first trailer was released during the New York City Comic-Con last year. It features the famous cast of characters as well as Khary Payton as the Penguin King. It also gave us our first look at Mario’s brother, Luigi.
In recent news, the final trailer was released just yesterday. This animation also offered us a synopsis on what we can expect from the movie.
While working underground to fix a water main, Brooklyn plumbers Mario (Chris Pratt; Jurassic World and The LEGO Movie franchises) and brother Luigi (Charlie Day; It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) are transported down a mysterious pipe and wander into a magical new world. But when the brothers are separated, Mario embarks on an epic quest to find Luigi.
With the assistance of a Mushroom Kingdom resident Toad (Keegan-Michael Key; The Lion King) and some training from the strong-willed ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy;The Queen’s Gambit), Mario taps into his own power.
