The world of video game movies is about to get a lot more interesting with the news that Charles Martinet, the voice actor behind the beloved Mario character, may have a role in an upcoming Mario movie. Martinet is best known for his iconic portrayal of the Italian plumber, having voiced the character since 1995.
The news of Martinet’s potential involvement was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, who cited anonymous sources close to the production. It is unclear what role Martinet will play in the movie, but it is likely that he will be lending his voice to the character of Mario. This would make sense given his long history with the character and his familiarity with the source material.

Whatever the case may be, Martinet’s involvement in the movie is sure to be a welcome addition to the cast.
The Mario movie is being produced by Illumination Entertainment, the studio behind the popular Despicable Me franchise. It is expected to be a hybrid of live-action and animation, similar to the recent Sonic the Hedgehog movie. The movie is still in its early stages of development, so no plot details or casting announcements have been made yet.
Charles Martinet’s potential involvement in the Mario movie is sure to excite fans of the franchise. His iconic voice has been a part of Mario’s world for over 25 years, and it would be great to see him take on a more active role in the movie. We can only hope that this news is true and that Martinet will be able to bring his unique talents to the big screen.
