A few hours after its premiere, Super Mario Bros. The Movie aims to be one of the highest grossing films of 2023. The good reviews it has received from the press, a franchise like Mario Bros, and the changes that improve the plumber’s narrative are the main reasons why the movie inspired by one of the world’s most famous video game characters a resounding success.
One of the most notorious changes is that of the princesa Peach, which unlike the game, instead of being a damsel in distress will become a warrior of arms to take. Apart from the fact that it is a decision on the part of the directors, it is also something that the Ana Taylor Joy she wanted to have if she was going to play the princess. She tells it so in an interview with slashfilm.
“When I was first approached about playing Peach, I was on one hand extremely honored, but on the other a bit hesitant just because in my head, before I met everyone, I thought, ‘Oh, I really want to do this, but I only want to do it if she is a modern princess, not only be a princess, but also a ruler‘. Peach is a leader in this, and I felt like we could create a more three-dimensional character that had her own agency in it.”
“I was so excited when I first met everyone that everyone was on the same page. We all wanted to do the same thing. That made for a very exciting process because there are times when I wanted to go back to the original game and have that fandom reward of that way. But it is also true that this It wouldn’t have worked for the whole movie. Now Peach is a three-dimensional character. You have to have colors in his voice. I feel very grateful that they supported me every step of the way and that there was no setback.”
Of course, that Peach is a heroine is a real success, since as the directors commented several weeks ago, that of rescuing a princess had remained in the past. The Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom has shown countless times that she is capable of managing on her own and does not need any plumber to help her.
We remind you that Super Mario Bros. The Movie will hit theaters around the world next April 5, 2023although its premiere in Japan is scheduled for two weeks from now to coincide with a national holiday.
