Comparing the Russo Brothers to Super Mario Bros was probably not something that crossed my mind until I saw Chris Pratt’s Instagram story. Yet here we are, someone has touched up Mario and Luigi’s hats and mustaches on Anthony and Joe Russo, and I can’t look away.
With The Super Mario Bros movie. trailer Upon release, we got our first glimpse of many beloved characters, including Princess Peach, Toad, and Mario’s brother Luigi. This movie has been the subject of much discussion and remembrance for quite some time now, but this joke takes the cake. It’s because the Avengers ending the directors are a bit like the two plumber brothers from the iconic video games. Look:
Not only does Chris Pratt have a funny sense of humor about the comparison, the Russo brothers also amusingly acknowledged the similarity, commenting @agbofilms Original Instagram post:
Mario and Luigi are actually our middle names…
Well, I highly doubt that’s true, but they look as low-key as their iconic video game siblings, especially when you add the hats. I mean, since Joe Russo is a little shorter than Anthony Russo, coupled with that Photoshop work, I can totally see the resemblance, and I personally think it would be pretty funny to see them appear for a little cameo in the following Super Mario Bros Movies .
Now, as far as Chris Pratt is concerned, his involvement in the upcoming film has sparked some controversy. People haven’t been a fan of Pratt playing an Italian accent for the movie, like Mario has in the games, but an actor in the movie. Khary Payton, clarified that Pratt he has more of a New York Italian accent. A the film’s producer also commented on the reaction saying they understand the complaint and that Charlie Day, who plays Luigi, is Italian-American.
Despite the backlash, there’s a lot of excitement surrounding this movie. I know I was pleasantly surprised by the trailers and can’t wait to see it next year. From the Russos’ commentary, it seems they too are excited for the film and in the mood for the silliness it will bring.
If you have seen the Marvel movies in order you will know that the brothers have worked several times with Pratt in Avengers: Infinity War Yes Game overso I guess everyone is in favor of supporting the actor in his latest project.
With The Super Mario Bros movie.Pratt also stars in one of the principals upcoming Marvel movies This year. He will reprise his role as Star-Lord in guardians of the galaxy vol. 3which is expected cinema calendar 2023 before May 5 about a month after the release of the Mario movie.
