Chris Pratt's role in Super Marios Bros. movie was accurately predicted by a Twitter user way back in May 2020.
After the latest announcement from Nintendo, revealing that Chris Pratt is voicing Mario in the animated movie adaptation of the classic gaming title "Super Mario Bros.," a tweet from more than a year resurfaced.

Chris Pratt's Super Mario Bros. Movie Prediction
It turns out that someone from Twitter foresaw that Chris Patt is getting the lead role for the upcoming "Super Mario Bros." animated film.
The Twitter user that goes by the name StheGeneral wrote the prediction on the social media platform last May 22, 2020, saying that the upcoming "Super Mario Bros." movie will not be played by the original voice of Mario, Charles Martinet. Instead, "someone like Chris Pratt" will be taking the lead role.
I'm calling it now, the Mario Bros movie will NOT have Charles Martinet play Mario for no reason and cast someone like Chris Pratt
— StheGeneral (@general_sthe) May 21, 2020
GamesRadar further noted that the prediction is a mere coincidence and not some work similar to Nostradamus. The news outlet added that Chris Pratt is one of the biggest names in the world of animated movie voice acting.
It is worth adding that Pratt also starred in other animated hits, such as Disney's Onward and tons of LEGO Movies. So, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" lead star is not an out-of-this-world choice for the "Mario" movie due to his previous animated projects.
However, some fans are still unimpressed with the decision to choose another voice actor than Martinet, who voiced not just Mario, but other characters like Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi.
It is to note that Martinet has been the voice of Mario since 1995.

Now, the Japanese game developer giant further disclosed that the upcoming animated movie will hit the theaters in December 2022. Other Hollywood stars will join Pratt to voice other "Super Mario" characters, according to ScreenRant.
