Much like how Kevin Conroy (RIP) is Batman & Mark Hamill is Joker, Charles Martinet is Mario he set the foundation for how mario sounds along with 5 other characters! His work will live on for an incredibly long time. I didnt notice that Charles wasn't the voice of mario in the wonder trailer either. I think it would make economic sense for the new VA to voice multiple characters as a way to save on cost, wouldn't be shocked if that was a requirement when auditioning but that's just me speculating. Charles not being the voice of mario in the mario movie makes a little bit sense now as it be a huge commitment, plus you know the whole star power thing they had with the cast of the movie.
Peter Cullen and frank walker ben voices for prim and Megatron for almost forty years. Along whit other characters from different shows As well. Charles is nowhere on the level of those guys.
I think the new voice actor will be announced in the Charles celebration video from Nintendo, kinda as a “passing the mario hat” kind of thing. It’s gonna be hard knowing that Charles isn’t Mario anymore, but it’s nice that his replacement is nearly spot on.
IT's sad to see a childhood hero retire, but i do think its reassurring they they got someone that sounded alot like charles for mario wonder and didn't decide to go "Chris pratt the hack is voicing him now in the games" Yeah i thought the movie is alright but chris pratt's mario is still something people were way to nice about. At least at least we have a sound alike for the games
Have they said if they're going to replace him with a different voice actor? I feel like they have enough voice clips of Charles to just end up using an AI for his voice to make Mario's voice. Maybe thats what they mean by Charles being an 'Ambassador'
We love you Charles!!
His last lines as Mario and Luigi's dad in the movie is these are my boys and damn that line hits hard now 🥺
Oh yeahhh : ((
Mario Teaches Typing was the first voice of Mario has ever heard in 1991. It's been 32 years then
I think it started in Mario’s Game Gallery in ‘95. He didn’t have a voice in the first typing game, but in typing 2 he had a voice though.
We love you Charles thank you so much for everything.
Chris pratt took over mario in the movie, hes coming for the games next.
I would love to see Chris Pratt for the games as well. He did a great job in the Super Mario Bros. Movie.
I don't think Sag Aftra will allow it
Chris Pratt sucks

We love you charles we are going to miss you❤️💚🤎💜💙💛💝💞🧡🤍💕
Oh….how unfortunate. I’m also surprised with Peter Cullen still voicing Optimus Prime at 82 FRICKING YEARS OLD. And he said he would NEVER wanna quit!
What a legend

basically what his new role is is like a role of honor so they can keep paying him for all the work he's done
Mario was a house hold name before having a voice in gaming. You giving Charles too much credit for Mario popularity.
It’s sooo obviously not Charles in the trailer. Knew it from the second I heard it.
