"The Super Mario Galaxy Movie," the upcoming sequel to "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," is still holding plenty of surprises, continuing to announce new characters and cast members at the last minute.
Just yesterday, it was officially confirmed that Fox McCloud, the protagonist from Nintendo's "Star Fox" series, would appear in the film. Today, it was revealed that Glen Powell, who shot to fame in "Top Gun: Maverick," will be the voice behind the iconic character. To announce the news, Powell recorded a short video for fans, humorously mimicking Mario's jump while sporting a McCloud-themed jacket (see below).
