After Mario, will Donkey Kong also be the protagonist of a film?
The studio behind the next film by Super Mario Bros. from Nintendo will soon make a film by Donkey Kong, according to a new report. Illumination, which is also part of the Minions franchise, will follow the debut of Seth Rogen in the role of Donkey Kong with a film focused on this protagonist.
The report suggests that other Kongs may also be involved. Cranky Kong, voiced by Fred Armisen, is a likely contender – and like Rogen it will also debut in Super Mario Bros. The film would have a scheduled launch window in 2023.
The idea of a Donkey Kong spin-off movie is interesting for a few reasons. According to some, in fact, the Super Mario Bros. film could lead Nintendo to new films in the Nintendo Cinematic Universe. All of this, of course, would tie in with the now confirmed Donkey Kong theme park expansion coming to Super Mario World at Universal Studios which is expected to be completed in 2024.
In any case, for now it is simply a rumor: we just have to wait for the official from Nintendo.
