5 Actors Who Should Voice Mario Instead Of Chris Pratt In New Super Mario Bros Movie

5. John C. Reilly

How about replacing one Guardians Of The Galaxy MCU star with another? This one is certainly more well suited to the role and is universally beloved by audiences, so he'd be far more likely to gel with the red-clad plumber.

John C. Reilly has had a great career, thanks to his look and demeanour. He's very prone to stealing the show in comedy movies (Step Brothers/Talladega Nights). He has even been noteworthy in dramas (Magnolia/Stan and Ollie), but his most significant credential for this role is surely his iconic turn as the titular Wreck-It-Ralph.

Not only does Reilly have experience voicing an animated figure who lives in a video game world, but he's got a warm and identifiable voice, which makes all of his characters come across as likeable and fun. Seeing the same treatment given to Mario would be great, as fans could receive a wholesome and somewhat fatherly version of the Nintendo mascot.

Additionally, the actor has a wicked sense of humour and great comic timing, so you'd better believe he'd hit the comedy notes like Mario on a Goomba's head.
