Jack Black does comedy like few other actors can, both onscreen and offscreen. His latest stint comes by way of his universally acclaimed portrayal of Bowser inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, which starred Anya-Taylor Joy and Chris Pratt.
‘Peaches‘ is one of the songs that Bowser sings for Peaches, whom he kidnaps, prompting Mario to rescue her again and again in Mario’s story. However, despite being widely well-received by fans of the film, the actor, and the character, the song failed to secure a nomination at the Academy Awards, much to the actor’s hilarious charging. Not only did this get a reaction from Black, but he also used this to discuss his ideas for a possibleSuper Mario Bros.sequel.
“Bowser’s Revenge” would be against the Academy
Jack Black, while in an interview, revealed a song he wrote about being snubbed at the Oscars for Peaches. Black also joked that the film’s sequel could be very meta, and Bowser could be on the warpath for being snubbed at the Academy Awards. So potent was the thought, that just that morning, Black recorded a little sample on his phone,singing a song in Bowser’s voice for losing the nomination
First Bowser, Now Steve! Jack Black Reportedly Joins the Cast of the Minecraft Movie
While on the promotional tour forKung Fu Panda 4, the actor dedicated a small section to talking aboutThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, along with his co-star Akwafina, who plays the role of Zhen, a companion of Po in his journey to find the next Dragon Warrior.
While Po is one of the most iconic characters of Jack Balck, Bowser is a portrayal that captured the audience of the film, along with Chris Pratt’s star power, which, according tothe Numbers, earned the film its $1 billion+ box office run.
The Super Mario Bros. Moviehas a different achievement
Adapting a franchise as beloved as Mario is something that can be considered a high-risk, high-reward endeavor. Studios always take a humongous risk when adapting video games for film, given the track record these adaptations have in Hollywood.

However, TheSuper Mario Bros. Moviehas been able to change that perception too, given that it stands as the highest-grossing adaptation of a video game property, bar none. To put it into perspective, the second-highest-grossing video game adaptation after the film isDetective Pikachu, according toThe Numberswhich snugly sits at a $450 million box office run.
While the film might not have been a favorite among critics, fans, and audiences were able to find a lot of worth in the film.
