Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Jack Black reprise their roles from the first film as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser, respectively, and the film adds the new characters of Yoshi and Princess Rosalina (introduced, appropriately enough, in the Super Mario Galaxy games). Additionally, the film will feature Fox McCloud from the iconic Starfox Nintendo game series. With additional Nintendo characters, such as Fox McCloud, as well as other characters like Donkey Kong, who appeared in the first film, can a shared Nintendo cinematic universe be far behind?
