As reported by Slash Film, Leguizamo suddenly had a change of heart upon his initial criticism of Chris Pratt’s Super Mario Bros. 2022 movie after attending comic cons. Witnessing the dedicated fanbase, the actor admits to have grown soft for the sake of fans who grew up loving the movie. Read his full comment below:
There is no denying that the power of a fanbase should never be underestimated, whether it comes to campaigning for their shows to be heard or when it comes to growing impact on the actors themselves. Although this doesn’t seem to change for the actor that the Super Mario Bros. movie still had ‘backward casting’ after the 1993 film fought for Leguizamo to lead, perhaps he has come to believe that it’s the fans wanting to see the movie again that matters more.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is set to hit cinemas on April 7, 2023.
