Bowser will apparently break into song in the upcoming The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Mario is one of the most beloved characters in gaming and probably one of the most recognizable characters in all of fiction. His distinct red and blue clothing along with his signature hat and mustache make him stand out. Not to mention, Nintendo has ensured he stays in the limelight with new games and spin-offs on a regular basis. Now, after a failed live-action adaptation of Mario many, many years ago, he’s returning to the big screen. Mario will join his friends and foes in a new animated film from Illumination, the studio behind the Despicable Me and Minions film. We just got our first trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie and it looks really fun, but there are still a lot of unknowns surrounding the film.
