Jack Black Wants To See THIS Actor Portray Wario In 'Super Mario' Sequel

Jack Black, who provided the voice for Bowser in the record-breaking "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," which hit theaters last weekend, is already looking at a sequel.

Although a sequel has not been confirmed, the actor has some ideas of what it could look like and who could be involved.

When discussing "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," Jack Black said he is unsure if there will be a sequel or if Bowser will be involved, but regardless, he has some ideas for what could be.

"It's not a given that Bowser will return," Jack Black told Game Spot. "You know, I did a few Kung Fu Panda movies, and it was a different villain in every movie. They may do the same thing."

Black continued, "What if a more powerful, more evil villain exists? Then I may need to be turned to help Mario and the rest defend our universe against some unseen force of evil. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Wario. Pedro Pascal is Wario."

Jack Black recently appeared alongside Pascal in Disney+'s "The Mandalorian."

"The Super Mario Bros. Movie" has been an instant success and stars Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Charles Martinet as Mario's Dad, Khary Payton as Penguin King and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong.

According to Deadline, "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" was a massive success at the box office for a 3-day weekend total of $146.36M. The animated movie technically hit theaters on Wednesday, April 5, making its 5-day total a record-breaking $204.6M.

Chris Pratt spoke out about the film before its release, admitting he changed his Italian accent for Mario in the movie on director's demand." For a minute, I walked in, and they were like, 'That's a little New Jersey. You're doing a Tony Soprano thing,'" he said on Entertainment Weekly's Around the Table segment.

Pratt wasn't the only one having trouble nailing the accent as Charlie Day, who voices Luigi, admitted he also struggled. "We tried different things, different voices," Day said. "Now and then they would say, 'Charlie, maybe a little less 'Goodfellas' in this one' — I'm like, 'Alright! I think you're wrong but fine!' — until they landed on something they liked."

"It was a fascinating and daunting challenge," Pratt said. "Talking to these guys, they say, 'You wanna do the Mario movie?' I think both of us said yes. Didn't even ask, 'What's the deal? What's the story?' 'Yes, I'm in.'"

"And then we had to dig in and figure out, Are they Italian? Are they American? We know a little bit about Charles Martinet's voice that he's sprinkled in there with the 'Wahoo!' and 'It's-a me!' and these Mario things, but how do you craft a 90-minute narrative with an emotional through-line and create a living, breathing person about who you'll care?" Pratt continued.
