The cast of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” cosplayed as the franchise’s popular characters at the movie’s premiere in California.
Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, and Chris Pratt attended the screening on Saturday ahead of the film’s debut on April 5 — but instead of luxury gowns and black tuxedos, each star celebrated by dressing as the character they voiced in the upcoming film.
Taylor-Joy, who plays Princess Peach, arrived in an all-pink leather jumpsuit complete with gloves and boots reminiscent of an outfit the character wears in the film. Vogue reported that Dior designed the ensemble.

Black plays Bowser, whom he channeled by wearing a suit jacket that mimics the villain’s green and orange shell. His suit also featured flames on the jacket’s cuffs and pants. Black said on Instagram that the costume designer Dayna Pink created the suit.

Pratt appeared to pull style inspiration from his character, Mario, by posing for photographs in a dark red suit. His costar Charlie Day wore a dark green suit to represent his character and Mario’s brother, Luigi.

The film tells the story of the Super Mario Bros. traveling through the Mushroom Kingdom. Nintendo announced in September 2021 that Pratt would voice Mario in the film and he celebrated the news with an Instagram post soon after.
In March, Pratt addressed criticism surrounding his casting in the film after some fans took issue that he wasn’t Italian.
“Oh, I totally get it, man,” Pratt said. “There’s a passionate fan base, and I’m one of the fans. I get it. Mostly, people don’t want something like this to get screwed up.”
