Chris Pratt has promised that The Super Mario Bros. Movie will honour the classic video game.
The 43-year-old actor is lending his voice to Mario and has promised fans that the animated flick will do justice to the beloved Nintendo game amid criticism that he will not be using a thick Italian accent in his portrayal of the plumber.
Addressing concerns about the flick, Chris told Extra TV: "Go watch the movie and then we can talk. I really think once you see the movie, and in all honesty, I think you probably need to watch it twice.
"In all honesty, the answer is, this is a passionate fan base, and I understand, I'm a part of it. This is the soundtrack to your youth, and you don't want someone to come along and cynically destroy it as a cash grab with the movie."
The Jurassic World actor is convinced that the film, which will be released next month and features Charlie Day as Luigi and Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, could start an "entire universe" for Super Mario in cinema.
