The voice actress of Harley Quinn assures that Mario should be Charles Martinet in the film

let’s admit it, To this day it is a practically impossible task to separate Mario from the voice of Charles Martinetthe actor who has been playing him in video games for 25 years since we were able to hear him for the first time in Super Mario 64. Not surprisingly, Martinet, with his performance, is one of the main culprits for having given Mario a very recognizable identity today, as well as other characters from the same universe such as Luigi, Wario or Waluigi.

Therefore, It is not surprising that some fans have not been completely satisfied with the fact that the actor is not going to play our favorite plumber in Super Mario Bros. The Movie, role that this time falls on Chris Pratt (Jurassic World, Guardians of the Galaxy). Now, Tara Strongthe usual prolific voice actress for characters like Harley Quinn or Twilight Sparkle (my little Pony), adds to the complaints and has not hesitated to criticize Illumination and Nintendo for this decision.

“It should be Charles”

Shortly after the premiere of the first trailer for the film, Strong posted a tweet that read “Should be Charles” along with a photo of her with Martinet.a criticism that he would later expand with another tweet that reads as follows: “Voice actors: I’m going to put my heart and soul into this for at least 20 years, help sell billions in merchandising, make studios make millions of dollars.” dollars and make the world happy. Hollywood: We don’t care“.

Voice actors- Im gonna put my heart & soul in this for at least 20 years, help sell billions in merch, make the studios millions of dollars & make generations around the world happy.

Hollywood – We don’t care. tara strong (@tarastrong) October 6, 2022

Along with these criticisms, Strong also wanted to encourage fans to share their love for Charles Martinet, a gesture that ended up moving the actor himself. While not playing Mario, it has been confirmed that will make a cameo during the moviealthough it is unknown how.

I love you Tara! Thank you so much! Thank you everybody! Your love and kindness mean more than you could ever know, And genuinely touched my heart. My little eyes seem to be leaking today with tender affection. Thank you Charles Martinet (@CharlesMartinet) October 7, 2022
