The Super Mario Bros. Movie will be getting even deeper into lore in its sequel, according to Toad actor Keegan-Michael Key.
“One thing I can say about the second movie is that it’s a little broader in scope, and where it takes place is very intriguing lore and the Mario world,” the actor toldMen’s Journal. “They’re going to find some really fantastic Easter eggs and it’s been very exciting so far.”
Not only that, but the actor adds that new characters will be joining in the second outing too. He continued: “I feel like what they’ve done creatively is they’ve really widened out the universe that these characters live in and we’re going to meet some new folks. We’re going to meet some new folks that are old favorites and some folks that I think are really deep cuts, but because of the way the story’s laying itself out right now, those characters are going to be very intriguing.”
Now, we’re not sure how deep cut we’re talking, but our personal hope is that purple Luma Lubba might finally get his day in the sun after Super Mario Galaxy 2.Redditors have already been sharing their hopesfor who else might make an appearance with Toadsworth, Tatanga, Koopalings, or Wart.
