The first trailer for the Super Mario Bros movie is coming in a Nintendo Direct presentation this Thursday, Nintendo said in a tweet Tuesday. It’ll be our first look at the Illumination’s animated feature, which will star Chris Pratt as the iconic plumber.

The movie is scheduled to hit US theaters on April 7, 2023.

Fans are eager to hear Pratt’s Mario voice, especially co-producer Chris Meledandri said he won’t use the exaggerated Italian accent made famous by video game voice actor Charles Martinet.

Aside from Pratt, the all-star cast includes Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad. Martinet will also have a surprise role.

The Nintendo Direct presentation will be available on Thursday, Oct. 6 at 1:05 p.m. PT/4:05 p.m. ET, which converts to 9:05 p.m. GMT or 7:05 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 7 AEST.

What else can we expect from this Nintendo Direct?

The presentation won’t include game information, Nintendo noted, likely to keep our Switch expectations in check. We’ll likely hear from Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, executives from Nintendo and movie studio Illumination and some of the cast and crew.

This won’t be the gaming giant’s only foray into the movie business, having launched new animation subsidiary Nintendo Pictures on Monday.
