Super Mario Bros Movie Sequel Update: What's Next After Pause?
Fans eagerly await news on the highly anticipated sequel to the successful Super Mario Bros movie, starring Chris Pratt While details remain scarce, speculation abounds on what exciting adventures and iconic characters could be featured in the upcoming film
Be warned, there are spoilers ahead for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. With the WGA strike still ongoing, Chris Pratt has provided an update on the status of The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2. This film is based on the popular Nintendo video game series and was released in theaters in April. Despite receiving mixed reviews, it became a massive success at the box office, raking in over $1.3 billion worldwide. Surpassing Frozen, it now holds the title of the second highest-grossing animated movie of all time, making a sequel highly probable.
According to a recent interview with ET, Chris Pratt has confirmed that news about a potential sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 may be hard to come by until after the writers' strike has come to an end. Although there has been no progress on the sequel at present, Pratt expresses his appreciation for the support of fans, which contributed to the success of the first film. Pratt also acknowledges the importance of the writers' strike and expresses his support for the Writers Guild of America, stating that when negotiations are complete and the writers are ready to move forward, discussions regarding the future of the franchise will commence.
What The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 Could Be About
Despite my initial expectations, the success of the movie has truly surprised me. The fact that it has become a beloved, multigenerational hit around the world is both humbling and incredible. It's a testament to the fun, funny, and heartwarming nature of the film, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been a part of it. The outpouring of support has been overwhelming, and I am truly grateful.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie's conclusion leaves room for a potential sequel, as Mario (Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) embark on another adventure after successfully defeating Bowser. Although Bowser is imprisoned in a small cage, having been reduced to a smaller size, his post-credits scene shows him singing about his desire for revenge. Despite his incarceration, it's clear that Bowser is not yet ready to give up his nefarious plans.
The second post-credits scene of the Super Mario Bros. Movie hints at the introduction of a beloved new character, Yoshi. The scene takes place in the Brooklyn sewers and shows an egg hatching, signaling the arrival of the fan-favorite Nintendo character. If Bowser manages to escape his confinement in the sequel, Yoshi could potentially team up with Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach to defeat him once again. With decades of franchise lore and games to draw from, there is a wealth of material to explore in terms of characters, storylines, and locations for the upcoming movie. Although the WGA strike may delay progress, it is expected that The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 will be a top priority once the strike ends.
