The final trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie confirms Donald Glover as the voice of Yoshi and gives fans a first look at classic villain Wart ahead of the film's premiere.
Nintendo has dropped the final trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie during a dedicated Nintendo Direct presentation. The latest preview gives fans a look at the plot involving Bowser Jr. trying to rescue his father and features the first cinematic appearance of classic villain Wart. While the footage highlights the grand scale of the upcoming animated feature, the biggest news centers on the final voice cast additions.
Illumination producer Chris Meledandri officially confirmed that Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino, will voice Yoshi. The internet has been trying to guess the identity behind the dinosaur's familiar sounds since earlier teasers, and the reveal is a major casting coup for the film. Alongside Glover, the presentation announced that Luis Guzmán will voice Wart and Issa Rae will step into the role of the Honey Queen from the Honey Hive Galaxy.
Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto highlighted that the movie serves as the centerpiece for the ongoing 40th anniversary celebration of the franchise. As Nintendo continues to bridge the gap between interactive entertainment and global cinematic events, this casting choice is bound to generate massive social traction across streaming and creator communities as opening day approaches.
