The Super Mario Bros. Movie release date is just around the corner and the film’s directors, Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, have spoken to Total Film about Princess Peach and her role in the movie. Horvath explained that they thought about her position, in both the film and the video games, as the monarch of the Mushroom Kingdom and what being a monarch would entail taking into account her personality and her behaviour. The Super Mario Bros. Movie launches worldwide on Wednesday, 5th April.
“It’s Mario’s goal to save his brother from Bowser’s clutches. He has to go on this epic adventure to do that. So Luigi, who’s a famously nervous, anxious character, finds himself in the worst possible predicament: having to survive interrogations with Bowser, and make it through that gauntlet.”
“She’s the monarch who leads this kingdom of hapless, adorable Toads. We were thinking how strong that person would need to be to protect those people. All that informed the idea for Peach’s character in our movie.”
