Chris Pratt, the voice of Mario in the Super Mario Bros. Movie, has shared some comments about a potential sequel for the smash hit videogame adaptation.

This information comes via an interview with Pratt published by Entertainment Tonight, where he reportedly said that more news about the sequel would be coming “soon”. According to Pratt, work will only proceed when the writers are “ready”, contingent on the ongoing strike in Hollywood.

“We’re in the midst of this writers’ strike, and so everything has been paused and put on hold for the right reasons, I really do support the WGA and our writers. When the negotiations have been completed, and the writers feel comfortable moving forward, then it’ll be time to start talking about what’s next for that.”

Aside from this, he also shared some thoughts about his role in the movie, specifically his surprise that the film turned out as successful as it did.

“We’re so grateful for the support, though, it’s really shocking to me how successful that movie’s been. I mean, I expected that people would love it the way I was excited about it, but it’s truly multigenerational around the world. People love it. They love Mario… It’s a really fun, funny, cute, heartwarming movie and, God, I can’t believe I’m part of it.”

Stay tuned for more updates as they come.
