Extra TV, both Charlie Day and Chris Pratt talk about the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie, and ongoing criticism it has received for its choice of cast (thanks, NintendoLife). Namely, Chris Pratt.
Unless you’ve been living under some sort of colossal rock for the past few months, you’re well aware that marketing for the Super Mario Bros. Movie has ramped up. From Mario-themed Amazon packaging to a collaboration with LUSH, Mario truly knows no bounds.
That said, you’re probably also well aware of the backlash that the voice cast for the Super Mario Bros. Movie has received. It all started with Chris Pratt saying his voice for Mario is “unlike anything you’ve heard,” and ended with the reveal of Pratt’s voice for Mario; it was, and is, Pratt’s voice.
