Prolific voice actress Tara Strong speaks out on Mario movie casting saying "it should be Charles"

Following the first trailer for the Super Mario Bros Movie, prolific voice actress Tara Strong has criticised the casting of the titular plumber.

To pretty much everyone’s horror, last year it was revealed that Chris Pratt would play Mario in Illumination’s adaptation of the beloved series. In one part, fans were unhappy that an actor that has been associated with a controversial church (which he later noted was not a church he attends, but in fact a different one that also isn’t great). But fans were also unhappy that Mario himself, Charles Martinet, would not be reprising his role. Like fans of the actor, fellow voice actress Tara Strong also doesn’t seem to be happy.

Strong, known for a huge number of roles, notably including multiple stints as Harley Quinn, and Fairly Odd Parent’s Timmy Turner, shared a photo of herself and Martinet with a caption that reads, “It should be Charles,” obviously in references to the recent release of the first trailer of the film.
