There are so many amazing films to get excited about in the 2023 movie season. If you’re a gamer then there is no bigger film coming this year than The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Based on the highly successful Nintendo franchise of the same name, the Illumination and Universal Pictures’ animated film releases in April. Now a new poster for Super Mario Bros. shows off the adventure’s dazzling scope and colorful epic scale.
The poster features all the main players of the Mushroom Kingdom. There’s Mario (Chris Pratt), Luigi (Charlie Day), Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), Donkey Kong (Seth Rogen), and Toad (Keegan-Michael Key) all sporting poses that are very reminiscent of their game counterparts. However, looming above our heroes is the evil king of the Koopas, Bowser (Jack Black) whose deadly grin is up to no good. His army of Koopa Paratroopas are flying in the background like they were the Wicked Witch’s monkeys from Wizard of Oz, and below them is Kamek (Kevin Michael Richardson) engaging in some mischievous magic. There’s also a lot of great detail in this poster that beautifully showcases Illumination’s breathtaking animation. The bright blue skies of the Mushroom Kingdom clashes off the fiery depths of Bowser’s volcano lair nicely. Like the games that inspired it, this film looks to have a ton of visual variety.
