The sequel is once again being directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic (Teen Titans Go!) from a screenplay written by Minions: The Rise of Gru scribe Matthew Fogel. The upcoming movie will be produced by Chris Meledandri for Illumination and game creator Shigeru Miyamoto for Nintendo. At the moment, it’s still unclear if all of the main cast will be returning to reprise their respective characters.
The first installment featured the voices of its all-star cast including Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike. Despite receiving mixed reception from critics, the adaptation managed to become one of 2023’s biggest movie releases. During its theatrical run, the movie earned a worldwide gross of over $1.3 billion at the box office.
