The wait is over--Nintendo has released the first trailer showing the highly anticipated Super Mario Bros. Movie in action. We can finally stop talking about Mario's flat butt and talk more about what his face will look like on the big screen. The trailer for the Mario Bros. Movie was released on a livestream to coincide with its appearance at New York Comic-Con, and the Illumination film is expected to arrive on April 7, 2023.

The special Nintendo Direct aired on YouTube and was aired in a panel room at NYCC as well. Animation has almost wrapped up on the movie, then it's off to lighting. In the trailer, King Koopa (Jack Black) and his Koopa army attach those blue penguins we know and love from Mario 64. Of course, Mario (Chris Pratt) pops up as well, and he sounds exactly like Chris Pratt. You can check out the Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer below.

During the panel at NYCC, the cast was there, and Jack Black said he had large shoes to fill, voicing Bowser: "It was a lot of pressure because Bowser is known and loved by millions around the world, for years," Black said during the panel. "One of the greatest video game villains of all time. There's a lot of responsibility with a built in fandom like that--and with great responsibility comes great power, that's how they say that right?"
