Danny DeVito has been tipped to play Wario in an upcoming Super Mario movie.

Charlie Day, who voices Luigi, has voiced his support for his It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-star to take on the role of Mario's longtime rival in a future sequel.

Charlie told Polygon.com: "I would choose my buddy Danny DeVito. He's perfect for it. He's just so funny."

Donald Glover, who voices Yoshi in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, agreed, saying: "Oh, that's a good choice! That's an excellent choice. Just tell him to call up [Illumination CEO] Chris [Meledandri]. It works!"

Benny Safdie, the voice of Bowser Jr., originally suggested "Chris Pratt, but with a mustache" for Wario, but revised his answer to vote for DeVito.

Jack Black, who voices Bowser, said: "Now you're speaking my language. I love Danny DeVito as Wario. He's a legend. No one knows that better than Charlie Day."

However, Keegan-Michael Key - the voice of Toad - had a very different suggestion.

He said: "I'm going to go with a real deep-cut, weird pick: Michael Shannon. Michael Shannon and I just did a film together where we both did voices in the film, and I was not aware of the fact that he can do no wrong. You gave Michael Shannon a crack at Wario? He would do something very interesting."

Meanwhile, Anya Taylor-Joy recently admitted that she vomited the first time she voiced Princess Peach.

Anya reprises her role as the iconic video game character in the upcoming The Super Mario Galaxy Movie but underestimated the exertion that went into lending her voice to an animated flick during her first recording for the original 2023 picture The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Speaking on the chat show Late Night with Seth Meyers, Anya said: "It's super fun. But I will say the first time I ever did a session, I did not realise how taxing it would be because you're yelling continuously the whole time. I think the first time I ever did it, I threw up."

The Queen's Gambit star also discussed the process of doing "efforts", which are recorded at the end of a voicing session.

Taylor-Joy explained: "It's essentially like the action sequence, but you're doing it standing by yourself in a booth.

"And you're doing that for like half an hour, which makes you feel really cool."

She added: "I think you have to lightly dissociate. And then, you know, you kind of visit yourself back and you think, 'God, I hope no on ever sees this', because they do film them."

Chris Pratt also returns as the voice of Mario, along with new addition Brie Larson as the voice of Princess Rosalina.

Behind the scenes, returning directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic are at the helm of the project, with Matthew Fogel once again writing the screenplay and Brian Tyler composing the score.
