On the other hand, Day’s 11-year-old son, Russell, is “agnostic” when it comes to choosing between the Mario brothers, showing a love for all video games, especially Nintendo ones. When asked which brother Russell prefers, Day admits that it could go either way, but for the sake of fairness, he’s willing to cede the title of “son’s favorite character” to Pratt and declare that Russell’s choice is Mario.
Both Pratt and Day agree that it’s all in good fun and enjoy the friendly rivalry between their characters, even extending it to their personal lives. Nonetheless, they are relieved that their kids aren’t fans of Bowser, the Mario Bros. arch-nemesis.
“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” will be released on December 21, 2023, and is expected to be a huge hit with fans of the classic Nintendo game franchise.
