For the first time, the iconic global entertainment brands Illumination and Nintendo join forces to create “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” a new, big-screen adventure starring one of pop culture’s most prominent plumbers of the past four decades.

Based on the world of Nintendo’s Mario games, the film invites audiences into a vibrant, thrilling new universe unlike any created before in an action-packed, exuberant cinematic comedy event.

While working underground to fix a water main, Brooklyn plumbers Mario (Chris Pratt; Jurassic World and The LEGO Movie franchises) and brother Luigi (Charlie Day; It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) are transported down a mysterious pipe and wander into a magical new world.

But when the brothers are separated, Mario embarks on an epic quest to find Luigi.

With the assistance of a Mushroom Kingdom resident Toad (Keegan-Michael Key; “The Lion King“) and some training from the strong-willed ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy;”The Queen’s Gambit“), Mario taps into his own power.

“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” features an extraordinary comedic cast, including Jack Black (“Jumanji” films) as Bowser, Seth Rogen (“Neighbors” franchise) as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen (“Portlandia,” “Saturday Night Live“) as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson (“American Dad!,” “Family Guy”) as Kamek and Sebastian Maniscalco (“Green Book“) as Spike, plus a special voice appearance by Charles Martinet, who has voiced the characters of Mario and Luigi in the Super Mario games for more than 30 years.

The film is directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic (collaborators on “Teen Titans Go!,” “Teen Titans Go! To the Movies“) from a screenplay by Matthew Fogel (“Minions: The Rise of Gru,” “The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part“).
