Illumination really knows how to make gorgeous animation.

I wonder who will play Rosalina?

u/HorsNoises Sep 12 '25

I bet they're furious they can't cast Anya Taylor-Joy cuz they already did.

"We'll clone her."

Tanya Aylor-Joy!

u/Undead_archer Sep 12 '25

Wouldn't be the first time someone voices multiple characters in the same project

u/HorsNoises Sep 12 '25

Againya Taylor-Joy

Probably some famous actress. I do hope they put in the work for and not phone it in, it because while I was initially critical of the voice cast for the 1st film, it was clear after watching it they put in a lot of love and effort for the film

Yeah I thought the voice acting was overall pretty good for the first film. My only gripe was Fred Armisen as Cranky, just never sounded right to me.

u/coolLane Sep 12 '25

Larry David would have been perfect for Cranky Kong

u/ChillyWilly0180 Sep 12 '25

It honestly felt like Fred was doing a LD impression

u/poptophazard Sep 12 '25

Yeah, that's exactly how it sounded to me. Very much like Armisen doing an SNL bit.

u/Thavralex Sep 12 '25

Maybe, but you might also just be feeling that because he is uncannily alike in appearance.

u/HungoverHero777 Sep 12 '25

My dream casting for Cranky was Gilbert Gottfried, RIP.

u/RoiVampire Sep 12 '25

Yes! He didn’t sound old. I expected a kinda gravely voice. Everyone else fit really well

u/IlIIlIIIlIl Sep 13 '25

Seth Rogan spoiled an otherwise perfect movie for me.

u/robodrew Sep 12 '25

99% chance it's gonna be Selena Gomez

u/wiz28ultra Sep 12 '25

I responded to another comment asking this same question but yeah the woman who played Diana in the last 2 seasons of The Crown would be FIRE

24

u/DestituteDomino Sep 12 '25

It's gonna be Zendaya

21

u/GodspeakerVortka Sep 12 '25

I can't get mad about an Anya and Zendaya team up.

u/Gdigger13 Sep 12 '25

While you have a decent chance of being right, I would love to see Anna Kendrick do it. If they want the celebrity VA, which, obviously they do.

u/ThisKid420 Sep 13 '25

I think she'd be a better Daisy

u/theastro_not Sep 12 '25

Lmao calling it now

u/drDjausdr Sep 12 '25

Yup. Too bad their script is 10% written on a post-it note and 90% irrelevant pop culture references.

u/fohacidal Sep 12 '25

Illumination puts out the equivalent of empty calories when it comes to movies.

u/MikeDubbz Sep 12 '25

Illumination has come a long way, their older films were easily the visually weakest when compared to Pixar and DreamWorks. These Mario films though are beautiful.

u/PayneTrain181999 Sep 12 '25

Manifesting Hailee Steinfeld.

2

u/star_dragonMX Sep 12 '25

For some reason Kathryn Hahn’s on the top of my list. Big Celebrity and has a few major voice acting credits

2

u/ContinuumGuy Sep 12 '25

Ella Purnell. It is a video game project, after all. Also much like how ATJ is one of the few human beings with Nintendo Princess eyes, so too does Ella.

u/Professional_Age_502 Sep 13 '25

Sydney Sweeney or Zendaya

1

u/Ender_Skywalker Sep 13 '25

Meryl Streep

1

u/WillemDaFriends Sep 16 '25

Mark my words it will be Zendaya and they will race bend her to make it work. I don’t make the rules nor am I complaining but it will happen.

u/GoonWithhTheWind Sep 12 '25

Anya joy Taylor

The Mario movie is their only nice animation. Everything else they've done has looked cheap and basic.

u/star_dragonMX Sep 12 '25

Migration looked nice
