The new trailer of “Super Mario Bros: The movie” shows Seth Rogen as the voice of Donkey Kong

Super Mario Bros: The Movie It promises to be a redemption of the crap that was released in theaters in 1993, and it is that, seeing that the quality of productions based on video games are rising, it looks ugly that Nintendo’s mascot does not have a movie to match.

After learning that the voice cast includes Chris Pratt as Mario, Jack Black as Bowser, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach and Charlie Day as Luigi, now we echo the presence of Seth Rogen as the voice of Donkey Kong thanks to the publication of the new trailer of Super Mario Bros: The Moviewhere we can see the plumber in a fight with the gorilla in a setting reminiscent of Smash Bros, the legendary fighting franchise that was released on Nintendo 64.

In addition to hearing Seth Roger as the voice of Donkey Kong and seeing part of the fight, in the trailer Mario can be seen acquiring an adorable cat suit by hitting the typical block with an item inside, a situation that causes the uncontrollable laughter of the gorilla.

Donkey Kong, Mario’s first antagonist

The confrontation between Mario and Donkey Kong may be a reference to the arcade donkey kong, a video game in which Mario, who initially had no name and was later renamed Jumpman before having his current name, has to rescue a lady named Pauline from the gorilla’s clutches. That was a clear reference to kingkongwhich cost Nintendo a lawsuit from Universal Studios.

The Japanese company won the case after its lawyer proved that Universal had argued in a previous case that kingkong it was in the public domain, so Nintendo is free to use it in their creations without having to pay royalties not ask permission.

Donkey Kong was Mario’s first antagonist, but that was a long time ago and things have changed a lot, to the point that the gorilla has starred in a good handful of video games as the hero (although in Donkey Kong Country 2 was the kidnapped), so we assume that the relationship between them will evolve until they ally against Bowser or who knows, maybe even Bowser joins Mario and Donkey Kong to fight against an even greater evil.

We leave you with the new trailer of Super Mario Bros: The Moviewhose theatrical release is now scheduled for April 2023.
