Pratt would be stepping into the giant shoes of the late lamented Bob Hoskins, who played him in the live action version.
It’s Alway’s Sunny in Philadelphia star, Charlie Day, will play Luigi, Jack Black hopes to be a roaring success as Bowser, while Anya Taylor-Joy of The Queen’s Gambit fame will play Princess Peach.
