“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” Teaser Trailer Just Dropped, And Chris Pratt’s Mario Voice Is Getting An…Interesting Reaction Online

It’s-a here: The first Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer was just released.

The appearance of Chris Pratt’s (virtual) face then got a big ol’ cheer in the room, as he said that it was an “honor to voice the man” and “a lifelong dream” to take on the role of the red-hatted lad.

Enter the trailer! We see Bowser burn down some ice buildings in what appears to be a reference to Li’l Penguin Lost in Super Mario 64. It must be said: The animation looks gorgeous.

We also see — and hear — Chris’s Mario begin his adventure in the Mushroom Kingdom. There’s not a ton to go on — as he mainly just says “What is this place?” — but I’m sure we’ll see plenty more in the months to come. Whether or not this is a good thing is up to you!

Then the voice of Bowser himself, Jack Black, hit the Comic-Con stage for a quick Q&A about the movie. He began by saying that it was “a lot of pressure” to take on the role, but that it was “pretty rad” to be doing it.

He also added that he did a ton of research, the only way that was possible — by playing even more of the games.

As for his depiction of Bowser, it’s one with “a sensitive side” but “furious with rage” — so take from this what you will. There will also be a “musical side” to Bowser in this version, so get ready for the “heavy metal” side of Jack to make an appearance.

As for the online reaction, it, uhh, was fairly focused on one thing:
