Glen Powell will bring to life Fox McCloud, the surprise Nintendo character joining the Mario Bros. on April 1st.
Powell posted a video on Instagram announcing the news Friday. He most recently starred in the thriller “How to Make a Killing” this year, plus last year’s “Running Man.” Like Fox, a space pilot from the “Star Fox” games, Powell took to the skies with his breakout role in “Top Gun: Maverick” in 2022.
Nintendo fans spotted a glimpse of the character in a recent “Super Mario Galaxy Movie” trailer. He’s known as the main character in the “Star Fox” action video games and also as one of the original characters of Nintendo’s fighting game, “Super Smash Bros.”
The Super Mario Bros sequel is also introducing Donald Glover as Yoshi, Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr. and Brie Larson as Rosalina.
