At a time when we are moved that Chris Pratt is the new voice of Garfield, one of his colleagues on the film Mario could well have his hour of glory.
According to GiantFreakinRobot, after the animated film Super Mario Bros. Scheduled for 2022, it will be Donkey Kong’s turn to try to break into the cinema.

As a reminder, the studio founded by Chris Meledandri is the one behind the adaptation of the adventures of the mustached plumber.

Besides, it will have its own extension to the amusement park. And a voice like Seth Rogen’s carries. We will be curious, if there is formalization, to know who could well camp Diddy, Dixie, Funky, King K. Rool and especially CRANKY KONG.
