The Super Mario Bros. Moviehas been in cinemas for a matter of hours at the time of typing this so I naturally have one question and one question only. When are we getting a sequel? Thankfully I’m not the only one who is already thinking about what’s next as Chris Pratt and Charlie Day have already made it abundantly clear that they’d be very up for a sequel.
“Yes, I’d love that,” was Pratt’s immediate answer when asked about the potential of a second movie byGamesRadar. Day, who voices Luigi, went a step further, admitting he’ll be in as many movies asNintendoand Illumination cast him for. “I think I’d do as many as they wanted me to do,” Day replied, hinting at aLuigi’s Mansionspinoff yet again.

“I would love to keep doing it and Luigi has got a whole mansion he can wander around and be scared in.” A potential Luigi’s Mansion movie has been coming up just about every time Day has been asked about his role as a Mario brother for more than a year. The Always Sunny actormade sure to bring it up again ahead of the movie’s release date, and it’s been mentioned so often it’s hard to imagine it hasn’t also been discussed in an official capacity.
No spoilers here (I won’t be seeing the movie myself until tomorrow) but Pratt confirmed prior to release thatcinemagoers will want to stick around during the Mario movie’s credits. Apparently there’s a scene that opens the door for a sequel and teases what it might include should it happen. Perhaps something akin to theSonicmovies which had a credits scene introducing Tails at the end of the first movie and then (spoiler alert) Shadow at the end ofSonic 2.
Unlike Sonic, Nintendo has thrown a lot of characters from the Mushroom Kingdom into its first movie. It still has plenty of options, though. Pratt and Day have already made it clear that if there is going to be a sequel,they want Bowsette and Wario to be a part of it. That presumably means neither of them will be in the credits scene if it does tease a character introduction.
