It’s no secret that Nintendo, Illumination, and other studios are working to maximize their partnership after the success of the Super Mario Bros. movie
. Daniel Richtman has a track record of sharing accurate information online. He says that Nintendo and Illumination have been working on a variety of titles. Richtman says that the team behind
Super Mario Bros is working on new titles. Movie is hard at work adapting The Legend of Zelda, Luigi’s Mansion, Donkey Kong and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Do not take it as gospel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHVZkMYvr-kWhile Super Mario Bros. 2 is a no-brainer after the original banked over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, adaptations of Luigi’s Mansion
Luigi’s Mansion, and even 10101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010 101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010 ten1010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010 Do not accept it as gospel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHVZkMYvr-kWhile Super Mario Bros. 2 is a no-brainer after the original banked over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, adaptations of Luigi’s Mansion, The Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong could be risky ventures, even for a brand as legendary as Nintendo. Luigi may be a fan favorite, but his popularity is less than that of his brother Mario. Luigi was a popular character among children and adults, but his role in
The Super Mario Bros. movie was much smaller than that of the other characters. Can the lanky plumbing hero carry his own movie? Speaking as someone who proudly places Luigi’s Mansion in his Top 5 Games of All Time list, I hope so!Meanwhile, Donkey Kong is almost guaranteed to star in a new movie. DK was the star of many people’s The Super Mario Bros. movie. A
Donkey Kong Country villain King K. Rool into the mix, we could be in for a grand jungle adventure.Related

Last but not least, we also have The Legend of Zelda. In the past few years, there have been several teases about an adaptation of Link’s adventures in Hyrule. This includes a rumored Netflix project and a live action movie featuring Tom Holland as the hero wielding the fabled Master Sword. While I think there are better studios to adapt The Legend of Zelda for the silver screen than Illumination,
Zelda fans would freak out if this project got an official announcement. I see the Koroks being used to deliver Minions-like comedy. I would like Nintendo to keep it dark, but with a hint of whimsy. For the moment, this information is only a rumor. Let your imagination run wild. Who would you cast to play Link? Should he speak in the film? Who would voice Princess Zelda if she were to appear in the film? Please feel free to comment below.
