Jack Black pitches Bowser's Revenge as a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The movie follows brothers Mario and Luigi, who are accidentally pulled into the Mushroom Kingdom and worlds beyond. While there, they are separated and fight to be reunited. While in this strange world, they meet a number of characters, including Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, and Bowser. Bowser is the fire-breathing king of the Koopas.
Black voices the villainous Bowser in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. During an exclusive interview with Screen Rant for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Black reveals he hopes to continue Bowser's story. He excitedly pitches a potential Bowser-focused spin-off and sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Check out Black's pitches in our full interview below:
It would be cool to have "Bowser's Revenge." Or a spin-off that's just "Bowser Town." Like a whole planet of Browsers. But that's not my job. I'm not the writer. I'll do whatever direction they want to go. I'd love to do more.
How Bowser's Revenge Could Be The Perfect Sequel To The Super Mario Bros. Movie
The Bowser's Revenge video game is a perfect jumping-off point as inspiration for a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie. In the video game, Bowser is fed up after losing to Mario for years. A sequel movie, assuming Mario beats Bowser, could instead focus on him seeking revenge after this unexpected defeat. Another possibility could be if the movie spawns a cinematic universe, leading to spin-offs before a direct sequel.
Black has discussed an unexpected vulnerability to Bowser stemming from his insecurities about what others think of him and his love for Princess Peach. Losing to Mario could cause Bowser to begin scheming a new strategy to defeat the Mushroom Kingdom. A Bowser's Revenge sequel would also be the perfect opportunity to introduce Bowser Jr., who could seek to team up with or avenge his father.
A Bowser's Revenge movie could delve deeper into what sparked Bowser's love for Princess Peach while also exploring his insecurities and vulnerabilities. Bowser is Mario's main antagonist throughout the games, and it seems unlikely he will be shelved after The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Bowser's Revenge could be the perfect way to further flesh out Bowser, his family, and his Kingdom while making him an even bigger threat to Mario, Princess Peach, and the entire Mushroom Kingdom.
