The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s New Villain Is Perfect (But I Didn’t Expect That Game Choice)

The latest trailer reveals Bowser (voiced by Jack Black) is still small and imprisoned after losing the first film’s battle. That changes when Bowser Jr. attacks Princess Peach’s (voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy) castle to free his father. He arrives with the magical paintbrush fans will remember from the 2002 game Super Mario Sunshine. Interestingly, while the paintbrush is a nod to the past, Bowser Jr.’s overall look isn’t. The creators at Illumination designed his appearance based on a more powerful version of the character from a recent game, showing a clever and detailed approach to the sequel.
