Characters such as Dewey Finn from School of Rock and Miles from The Holiday were both created by Jack Black and quickly became fan favorites.
However, it would appear that the 53-year-old actor has another iconic role up his sleeve in the upcoming Super Mario movie as Bowser, and it is safe to say that fans are obsessed with the prospect.
The voice acting talents of Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong will be featured in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie, which is scheduled for release in the year 2023.
According to the plot summary of the movie: “A plumber named Mario travels through an underground labyrinth with his brother, Luigi, trying to save a captured princess. Feature film adaptation of the popular video game.”
However, one thing that has really surprised fans is how well-suited the ‘Tribute’ hitmaker is to play Mario’s archnemesis Bowser; in fact, it is almost frightening how well-suited he is for the role.
Fans quickly took to social media to express their thoughts about his upcoming role, even stating that the entire fate of the movie rests on Black’s character, which is obviously a significant responsibility. Fans quickly took to social media to express their thoughts about Black’s upcoming role.
One person wrote: “Bowser is gonna carry this so hard.”
“I don’t know how they managed to capture Jack Black’s smile and put it onto Bowser,” Zobi Draws stated on Twitter, while another asked: “How did they make Bowser look so much like Jack Black?”
“Mad props to Jack Black, he sounds GREAT as Bowser,” stated another fan, as they shared a clip from the trailer, while someone else added: “So we’re all in agreement Jack Black’s Bowser slayed, right?”
And the reception that fans have given to Black’s new character has been a lot more forgiving than that which fans have given to Pratt’s character, where fans are not impressed with Pratt’s vocal performance.

Twitter user @jetgreguar explained: “Jack Black’s Bowser is one of those roles that really was completely meant to be. Hell, even toad was fun to listen to.
“Mario just showing up like ‘It’s me Chris Pratt let’s a go.’”
In the meantime, the Twitter account @CircleToonsHD commented on this train of thought, saying: “You can tell Jack Black put a ton of love and heart into his Bowser voice, while Chris Pratt just uh… spoke? Kinda weird but the visuals are absolutely f**king stellar, and I love the general vibe of the whole thing.”
But despite this, fans are still excited to see the movie when it finally comes out. The exact same user on Twitter wrote: “I’m excited for this dang Mario movie.”
I mean, it would be dishonest of us to pretend that we weren’t pretty excited about it, too.
