Fans have been talking about it ever since the Super Mario Bros. movie was revealed. Could this upcoming film be the first in a Nintendo Cinematic Universe? Will there be more Mario movies down the line, and could we see Nintendo’s partnership expand into other franchise films? Only time will tell.

Of course, if Nintendo does start crafting movies for their other properties, certain franchises seem like the perfect fit. While Metroid might not be Nintendo’s biggest brand, the transition to the silver screen for Samus and the gang seems like it would be the perfect fit. Turns out some of the Mario movie cast agrees.

Gizmodo had the chance to talk to Christ Pratt and Charlie Day, the voices of Mario and Luigi in the Super Mario Bros. animated film. The duo was asked what other games they’d like to see get the movie treatment should Super Mario Bros. be a hit, and both agreed that Metroid would make a ton of sense.

Day: Yeah, that would be a good one. We were talking about Metroid.

Pratt: That’s really good.

Day: How interesting and creepy and cool a Metroid [movie] would be?

A Metroid movie seems like such a no-brainer, and success of the Mario movie could give Nintendo confidence to head in that direction. Let’s hope we eventually see that move made one day!

Brie Larson has expressed interest in playing Samus.
Katee Sackhoff could do a good job too imo.

Brie Larson is a horrible person and a terrible choice for a film Hollywood should have 0 influences over. I would prefer it if no Metroid movie is ever made.

Metroid? I wonder how that would turn out in a movie. A very scary sci-fi horror movie?
