The Super Mario Bros Movie’s second trailer has aired
The second trailer for The Super Mario Bros Movie has now been shown.
The new trailer was shown during a special Nintendo Direct focused solely on the movie.
Trailer 2 opens with Mario fighting Donkey Kong, and lets fans hear the voices of Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Luigi (Charlie Day) for the first time.
It also shows a racing scene inspired by Mario Kart.

Introducing the trailer, Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri says of Taylor-Joy: “It was important for us to work with performers who could inhabit a wide range of emotions to connect with audiences on the big screen.
“Anya brings another dimension to this character, whether she’s leading her Toads or going head-to-head against the King of the Koopas.”
Before the trailer aired, Nintendo also showed a message from Seth Rogen, who plays Donkey Kong in the movie.
“For my entire life I’ve been a fan of the worlds created by Miyamoto-san,” he said. “In fact, my dog is named Zelda.
“Ever since I was a kid playing PlayChoice-10 I remember looking at Mario Bros and thinking: ‘If they ever make a movie out of this, I better be in it.’ And I’m happy to say that dream came true. I thank you, and Zelda does too.”
Promotional images for the movie leaked earlier today, along with fresh details about the film.
These included an image of Mario and Luigi in the real world, with a street sign saying ‘Brooklyn’, implying that some of the older Mario lore from the ’80s and ’90s is returning.
The leak also added an apparent synopsis of the movie’s story. It reads: “The movie tells the story of two Brooklyn plumbers who are brothers and best friends: Mario, the brave one with the ‘let’s-a-go’ attitude, and the perpetually anxious Luigi, who would prefer to go nowhere.”
