Glen Powell to voice Fox McCloud in 'Super Mario Galaxy Movie'

Actor Glen Powell cast as Fox McCloud in the star-studded animated sequel. Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Anya Taylor-Joy return.

"The inclusion of Fox McCloud came as a surprise to fans - Variety"

Washington DC, March 28

Actor Glen Powell is set to lend his voice to Fox McCloud in the upcoming animated film 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie', adding another major name to the already star-studded cast, according to Variety.

Powell confirmed the news through a video posted on Instagram. The actor, who recently appeared in the thriller 'How to Make a Killing' and last year's 'Running Man', will voice the iconic space pilot from Nintendo's 'Star Fox' video game series.

'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie', a sequel in the Mario franchise, will see Chris Pratt and Charlie Day reprise their roles as Mario and Luigi, respectively, as the story ventures into space. Returning cast members also include Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, according to Variety.

The film will introduce several new characters, with Donald Glover voicing Yoshi, Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr. and Brie Larson as Rosalina.

The inclusion of Fox McCloud came as a surprise to fans, although some had speculated his appearance after spotting a brief glimpse of the character in a recently released trailer. Fox is best known as the protagonist of the 'Star Fox' games and as a recurring fighter in Nintendo's 'Super Smash Bros' franchise.

Fox isn't the only "Smash Bros." character to cross over into the 'Super Mario Galaxy Movie'. A previous trailer featured a cameo from colorful Pikmin, the plant-animal hybrids used by 'Smash Bros'. fighter Captain Olimar from the "Pikmin" Nintendo games. There was also a shot of R.O.B., a real-life toy accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System, who became a fighter in 'Super Smash Bros,' according to Variety.

Honestly, I'm a bit worried. The first Mario movie was fun, but now they're adding so many characters. Feels like they might be trying to cram too much in. Hope the story doesn't suffer because of all these cameos and new voices.

Glen Powell is a great choice! He has that confident, pilot vibe. My kids are going to lose their minds when they see Fox's Arwing on the big screen. This is like a live-action Smash Bros. roster coming together. Can't wait for Diwali holidays to watch it!

The cast list is truly star-studded. Chris Pratt, Brie Larson, Donald Glover, and now Glen Powell. It feels like they're prioritizing big names over voice acting suitability sometimes, but I'm still excited. The Pikmin cameo in the trailer was adorable!

As a 90s kid, this news hits right in the nostalgia. Star Fox, Mario, Yoshi, Pikmin... it's like my childhood in one film. Just hoping the story is good and not just a shallow reference fest. The first movie set a decent bar.

I love that they're expanding the Mario universe into space! The Galaxy games were my favourite. Adding Fox McCloud makes perfect sense for a space adventure. My only request: please give us the Star Fox theme music somewhere in the score! 🙏
