Chris Pratt As Mario Was Predicted By Someone On Twitter A Year Ago

One of the biggest surprises from the September Nintendo Direct was the casting announcements for the Super Mario movie. In particular, people were flummoxed by the news that Chris Pratt will voice Mario. The casting announcement wasn't a surprise to everyone, however, as one person on Twitter actually predicted Pratt's casting more than a year ago.

Twitter user general_sthe laid out their prediction for the Super Mario movie back on May 21, 2020, saying series voice actor Charles Martinet would not play the part and Pratt would instead be the case. In reality, general_sthe absolutely nailed it with their very prescient tweet.

After the news broke on Thursday, general_sthe's tweeted again to voice their dismay that it came true, saying, "I'm so sorry, Charles Martinet. You DESERVED to be voicing Mario in the movie. This character would not be nearly as endearing, lovable, or alive without you."
