Can't they be black british nobles?

“True but it makes advertising easier.”

I’m pretty sure just advertising a Super Mario movie on its own would get people’s attention. I don’t think star power in the advertising would’ve made any difference. I don’t agree that it’s excellent as it is, it’s in the “very good” category for me. It also doesn’t change the fact that in the one instance where Hollywood could definitely afford to cast highly talented and skilled voice actors that didn’t necessarily have star power behind them, those said talented voice actors once again got the short end of the stick.

When I said this movie focused too much on star power, I wasn’t talking specifically about Anya Taylor-Joy. I had never heard of her before this movie, and I thought her voice was good for Princess Peach. I would’ve kept her in the movie but rewritten Princess Peach because they made her just way too capable of a character. Anya may not have been exactly a star, but when you see other names like Jack Black, Seth Rogen, Chris Pratt, etc. you can tell that the people behind this movie just relied way too much on these recognized names.
