Looks great! I’m all in. I love that we’ll be getting the stranger in a strange land vibes from this one with Mario first arriving to the Mushroom Kingdom. I wonder if we’ll see him when he’s on Earth as a plumber before. I don’t think it’s likely that the scene we see here is his first presence in the movie.
And I’m still hoping for a great game tie in. They’ve been talking with Illumination for 7 years, which is more than enough time to work on the movie and a game simultaneously.
2023 is looking like a great time to be a Nintendo fan. New Zelda, new Pikmin, new Mario movie and Super Nintendo World opening in the LA area. They sure are doing wonders for their brand image these last 5 years.
