According to a well-informed rumor, a very ambitious Super Smash Bros. project is in the works, and it looks really promising. That would be crazy.
Super Smash Bros is one of the great Nintendo licenses and its success can be explained in a few words. It’s a fighting game that brings together a whole cast of characters from Big N franchises (and sometimes other studios when there are collaborations). Would you like to see Luigi fight with his heart and soul against Ganondorf? It’s entirely possible. So we suspect that this series of games will be around for a long time. And in fact we have just been informed of a very ambitious project that is in the pipeline.
Super Smash Bros. in the movie, maybe a reality
This information comes from us DanielRPK, an insider best known for his leaks in the cinema industry. Sometimes he hits the mark, so when in doubt it can be interesting to listen to what he tells us. Animation studio Illumination wants to collaborate with Nintendo to produce several films. That’s not bad, but what’s the point? These are spin-offs that would make it possible to build a shared universe like the MCU.
Yes yes, you read that right, that’s why we call it ambitious. The idea would then be to culminate the story in a Super Smash Bros. feature film. with Avengers sauce. Zelda, Bowser, Villagers, Sonic, Mario, Samus, all united to face a common threat. Put like that, our curiosity is clearly piqued. However, it is important to take all of this with caution. There is no official confirmation, it may just be a manipulated screenshot. Be continued.
Furthermore, even if the project works out, it may not see the light of day. What we see there is a pitch that the studio prepared for the Japanese company. She could very well refuse, especially since she has a huge movie in the works. Yes, the live-action adaptation of Zelda has been validated by the company. The adaptation was entrusted to Wes Ball (The Labyrinth trilogy) and Joe Hartwick Jr. Therefore, Big N was able to reject Illumination’s proposal, even if it would hurt Super Smash Bros. fans.
The film is going well
While we’re on the topic of the live-action Zelda feature film, let’s continue a bit. On the production side we find Sony. This decision may seem surprising given that it is a competing Japanese company. When it comes to casting, we’re still a little in the dark. Hunter Schafer, Jules in the Euphoria series, insisted on announcing that she was available for the role of Princess Zelda. Anyway, the director is excited and shared his vision for the film in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:
It’s an incredible fantasy adventure film that’s not like Lord of the Rings, but something different. I’ve always said that I would like to see a live-action Miyazaki film. That wonder and whimsy that he brings to things, I’d love to see something like that.
