With today’s trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/a>, we got to hear Jack Black as the menacing Bowser for the very first time. But the trailer wasn’t just shown online. Nintendo and Illumination brought the movie to New York Comic Con (run by ReedPop, which Hookshot Media<\/a> is partnered with), where Jack Black made a special appearance.<\/p>\n

Filmed and shared by Popverse<\/a>, Jack Black brought all of his enthusiasm to the stage with him. He’s fully embracing the role of Bowser \u2014 he had his own shell, a flaming beard, and donned yellow clothing to ‘look’ like Bowser. And, sitting atop a throne, the actor had a few little anecdotes and teases to share during a short Q&A session.<\/p>\n

Sharing his well-known love for video games \u2014 where he says he remembers getting started with the original Donkey Kong back in the ’80s \u2014 the musician and comedian revealed that he tapped into the “deep dark insecurity” that many film and video game villains have. In the movie, Black says that Bowser has a “sensitive side” and he feels he isn’t loved enough, though he also reveals that some of Black’s own musical love and influence has seeped into the role:<\/p>\n

“Well, you know, I did bring some of my heavy metal roots because \u2014 in a way \u2014 Bowser is kind of like a heavy metal rockstar. You know, a big, strong, and scary rock star. And I did a little bit of rocking. I think you’ll be surprised to see that Bowser has a musical side. I’m thinking after the movie comes out I’m taking it to Broadway, there might be a one-man show.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jack Black is rarely<\/em> seen in a film without showing off his heavy metal and musical love, but the idea of Bowser shredding<\/em> has us very intrigued indeed. If he is, of course! But rumours about the Mario Movie potentially being a musical have been circling since April this year \u2014 though someone on Reddit<\/a> last September questioned the potential for the film to be a musical given the film’s stacked cast and their credentials.<\/p>\n

Black followed this up with another interesting comment when he mentions how much fun he and the cast had recording voice-over for the movie: “I had a lot of fun, I must admit. We had a ball. A little improv, a little magic, a little music. Good times.”<\/p>\n
