MOVIE NEWS – In an interview, the actor and comedian talked about how he played the mushroom-headed sidekick Toad in the animated movie, in which we can follow the adventures of Mario and Luigi.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the biggest surprises of the Super Mario Bros. movie was when it was revealed that Keegan-Michael Key would voice Toad, the mushroom-headed sidekick. The actor and comedian recently talked about how he prepared for this role and what challenges it involved.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Today Show, Key said he was thrilled to be cast in the film because he loved the Mario games as a kid. He also added that he tried to make Toad’s voice unrecognizable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn’t want to make a sound that sounded like mine,\u201d Key said. \u201cI thought it was a good opportunity to try something completely different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key also revealed how he would pronounce the names of Mario and Luigi from a sketch of one of his most popular characters, substitute teacher Mr. Garvey.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Mario, I would say Mar-ee-oh,\u201d Key said, mimicking Mr. Garvey’s accent. “And for Luigi: Loo-ee-jee.”<\/p>\n

The Super Mario Bros. movie will be an animated work produced by the Illumination studio in collaboration with Nintendo. The film stars Chris Pratt (Mario), Anya Taylor-Joy (Princess Peach), Charlie Day (Luigi) and Jack Black (Bowser).<\/p>\n
