Super Mario movie producer defends Chris Pratt, teases that there won't be much
Nov 24, 2021 43 secs
No, it wasn’t a horrible shared dream that we all suffered through back in September: Chris Pratt is really going to do the voice of Mario Mario in Illumination’s Super Mario movie, even though Mario has had one voice actor for 25 years (Charles Martinet) and he’s very good at saying the three or four things that Mario says.

Meledandri also addressed complaints about Pratt voicing an Italian character when he is not Italian—as if Super Mario is held up as some prime example of Italian culture like Leonardo da Vinci or Sergio Leone or Eugenio Barsanti (co-inventor of the internal combustion engine!) and not just a silly stereotype created by Japanese people.

Charles Martinet isn’t even Italian and he’s been doing a pretty damn good job for the last few decades voicing Mario and Luigi and Wario and Waluigi.
