Chris Pratt assures fans that news on Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 is “coming soon”

The Super Mario Bros.Movie has proven to be an absolute juggernaut of a film and has easily exceeded Nintendo and Illuminations initial expectations, securing the record of second biggest animated movie of all-time just behind Disney’s, Frozen 2. Today, Chris Pratt, the new voice behind Mario, shared the news that a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie will be announced “soon” once the writers strike has concluded. Pratt went on to say that they are all extremely grateful of the support they have received from the movie and says that it’s “really shocking to me how successful that movie has been.”

“One thing Pratt doesn’t intend to leave alone is the Mario universe, after The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a smash hit. In fact, Pratt teased that news about a sequel to the film should be coming “soon.”

“We’re in the midst of this writers’ strike, and so everything has been paused and [put] on hold for the right reasons,” he said. “I really do support the WGA and our writers. When the negotiations have been completed, and the writers feel comfortable moving forward, then it’ll be time to start talking about what’s next for that.”

“We’re so grateful for the support, though,” Pratt added. “[It’s] really shocking to me how successful that movie’s been. I mean, I expected that people would love it the way I was excited about it, but it’s truly multigenerational around the world. People love it. They love Mario… It’s a really fun, funny, cute, heartwarming movie and, God, I can’t believe I’m part of it.”

Well I’m all in for a sequel now since this movie is beating out other animation movies.

Given we just got the first movie, and I am still riding the vibe on that, I’m okay with waiting; the longer we give these guys to cook, the better the next one will be 😎

Ya. The 2 second clip of them in the trailers was literally their whole involvement in the movie.

This will not do anywhere near as well. The first one did well because of name only. The second will be a huge flop

That’s funny, because I seem to recall you insisting that the first film would be a major flop and that everyone would end up hating it a couple of months ago.
How’d that end up working out for you?

Maybe it’d be better for everyone if you just didn’t comment on things you clearly know nothing about, kay? 😉

Wouldn’t be surprised if the second movie isn’t as successful as the first one.

Obviously, the movie made over a billion bucks.

We’re getting at least ten sequels/spinoffs with DK, Luigi and every Mario character.

And Zelda, Splatoon, AC and Metroid will each get movies too.

Interesting how they can immediately get started on that sequel but take decades to get started on sequels of games.
