“The Super Mario Bros, Movie” opens at cinemas Wednesday, 5 April

Nintendo’s iconic Super Mario Bros. characters have been captivating gamers and fans for decades.  Now, in conjunction with Illumination, the animation studio responsible for creating some of the most beloved animated films of the past decade, including the Sing and The Secret Life of Pets films and the Despicable Me and Minions franchise, they have joined forces to create THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE, a new, big-screen comedy adventure starring pop culture’s most prominent plumber of the past four decades.

SYNOPSIS

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, Horrible Bosses) 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, Key & Peele, The Lion King) and some training from the strong-willed ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom Princess Peach (ANYA TAYLOR-JOY, The Queen’s Gambit, The Menu), Mario taps into his own power.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie features an extraordinary comedic cast, including JACK BLACK (Jumanji films) as Bowser, SETH ROGEN (The Fabelmans, The Lion King, Neighbors franchise) as Donkey Kong, FRED ARMISEN (Portlandia, Saturday Night Live) as Cranky Kong, KEVIN MICHAEL RICHARDSON (American Dad!, Family Guy) as Kamek and SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO (Green Book) as Spike, plus a special voice appearance by CHARLES MARTINET, who has voiced the characters of Mario and Luigi in the Super Mario games for more than 30 years.
