John Leguizamo has some thoughts on the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie and the voice cast. For the first time, Leguizamo has expressed his displeasure at the fact that Mario and Luigi will now be played by a couple of white guys.
At the premiere of The Menu, Leguizamo talked about how difficult it was to get the studio to cast a man in the film. They don't cast another actor of color, that's terrible.
Multiple people came up to Leguizamo at a recent Comic-Con to express their opinions on the Mario movie. They are not used to the new thing. I'm not angry. It's sad.
This isn't the first time Leguizamo has offered his opinion on the new Mario movie, back in September of 2021. There was no latinx in the leads. It's the first color blind casting. I know how to make this movie work well. Leguizamo would love to elaborate on that last part.
The movie is called Super Mario Bros. Jack Black and Keegan- Michael Key are also in the film.
Variety has a story on it.
