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

The chances are that you don't need a proper introduction to this actor, as everybody and their gran knows who the great Robert De Niro is. He's one of Hollywood's most decorated and respected veteran stars, which is why he might feel like an oddball choice here. However, he's way better suited than you might think.

It goes without saying that the two time Oscar winner has all the best acting credentials in the world. But, alongside that, viewers have come to learn over the past decade that he's way more self-aware than you'd expect. De Niro has been willing to sign his name onto an array of goofy comedy projects, proving that he has no problem making a fool of himself for fun. So, this wouldn't be out of his wheelhouse.

De Niro also has a great voice for the character. His vocal tones are authoritative, memorable, and full of spirit, aligning perfectly with Peach's knight in shining overalls. Plus, he's actually of Italian descent, which just adds more authenticity and appropriateness into this already perfect mixture.
