The Super Mario Bros. Movie is almost nearing its release and Jack Black’s performance as Bowser is the talk of the town. His is the performance to receive massive praise. Although a lot of critics and fans are not looking forward to the movie and it has faced a good amount of backlash, Black’s role as Bowser has pushed past all of that to stand stronger than the rest.
Even with Chris Pratt constantly trying to fight for him being cast as the titular character, Jack Black has established his role to be one of a kind and everyone is appreciating the charisma he has shown for the antagonist. This has made them wonder about a possible spin-off or a sequel for the character and luckily, Black has the same wish.

Jack Black Is Looking Forward To A Bowser Spin-Off
Jack Black confirmed that if The Super Mario Bros. Movie managed to be a box office success, he would love to see a sequel or a spin-off that focuses on Bowser’s revenge. He wants to see his character return and he is looking toward a movie or a project which looks into Bowser’s story.
“It would be cool to have ‘Bowser’s Revenge.’ Or a spin-off that’s just ‘Bowser Town.’ Like a whole planet of Browsers. But that’s not my job. I’m not the writer. I’ll do whatever direction they want to go. I’d love to do more. But on the other hand, there’s no guarantee that Browser is in the future. Kung Fu Panda had a different villain [in] every movie, so whatever. I had such a ball on this one. If this is the only one, then I’m blessed and loved the experience.”
He wants to see Bowser get a broader story and fans would be all for it. His performance has been highly appreciated and he is wondering as to when an opportunity like this would arise. Although no such sequel is confirmed till now, it would all be based on how well The Super Mario Bros. Movie performs.
Jack Black Brought His Own Aura To Bowser
Jack Black’s Bowser may as well deserve a standing ovation with how well he portrayed the character. His role as the character was so extraordinary that he managed to win the hearts of fans despite the dismay they had with Chris Pratt.
“Then you’re talking with the director and seeing and thinking, ‘Okay, maybe we could try it this way, that way, the other way.’ They left lots of room to explore, and they also did a lot of writing on the day. When I [was] there, we got it as written, and then the director was like, ‘Oh, hold on getting a line from one of the writers.'”
The eagerness to try something new gave him more and more motivation to experiment with Bowser and find what best fits him. Everyone wanted to see the lengths they could go to and make Bowser and Jack Black a merge of personalities in the best way possible. It was his unique spin on the character that allowed the possibility of making Bowser the best part of the movie.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie will be available to watch in theatres from 7th April 2023.
