^ We re-voiced the Super Mario Bros. movie trailer and voiced Charles Martinet to give you an idea of what might happen. Stay after the ad to hear the surprising results.
Many fans were outraged by the fact that Mario soundtrack Charles Martinet wouldn’t bring his classic rendition of the character to the screen. Instead, he was replaced by Hollywood superstar Chris Pratt, a move many saw as a stunt man, on the grounds that Chris Pratt was not Italian and didn’t even like cured meats.
While Charles Martinet isn’t a Hollywood name (ask one of your regular friends about him and expect blank stares before suggesting he’s a footballer or whatever), he’s far from just “Mario’s voice” . In fact, he has a lot of voices.
Should Charles play Mario in the 2023 animated film? Influence alone, probably not. Have experience leading a huge budget film? No, because he’s actually a great voice actor? Maybe. We’d love to see how it turns out. As this little window into an alternative reality show shows – it could be pretty awesome.
