In September, the voice cast for the upcoming Super Mario movie was announced. Among the list of stars was actor/writer Seth Rogen. Rogen will be voicing the one-time villain now an ally of Mario, Donkey Kong. Fans’ reception to the Green Hornet actor’s role was much more positive than the one Chris Pratt received for voicing Mario.
It would appear that Illumination Studios was paying attention to the fans’ reactions. According to reports, a Donkey Kong film is in the works at Illumination studios. Seth Rogen will reprise his role as DK. SNL Alumni Fred Armisen, will also reprise his role as Cranky Kong.
The sources of these reports have been unable to confirm the rumors. There has also been no word from the gaming giant, Nintendo. However, it would not surprise us if the rumors are true. Donkey Kong is a successful franchise for Nintendo. Donkey Kong once had his television series, Dong Kong Country, in 1996; and the show ran for two seasons.
