Fans attending the Super Mario Bros. Movie not only got a first look at the new trailer on a big screen but also got a surprise guest that may have been the highlight of the night. Fans at the Empire Stage and world wide were treated to the new Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer starring Chris Pratt (Mario) and Jack Black (Bowser). After the trailer the room was filled with a bunch of mixed reactions about how Mario sounded nothing like Mario. But the mood changed quickly when Jack Black made a surprise appearance at the panel.

Stuck in between the two showings of the trailer Jack Black came out for the very brief panel and Q and A. Black came out in a red and yellow outfit with a Koopa backpack that some lucky fan received when he threw it into the crowd. Black then sat in a golden throne and gave fans a short description what we can expect from Bowser in the movie.

He has a sensitive side and he has a little vulnerability, little insecurity, and that’s why he is so furious with rage.” Black also goes on to talk about how he dips into his heavy metal roots because Bowser is like a big scary rock star. But it was when he showed off the voice of Bowser that really got the crowd going and saved the panel from being a complete flop. You can check out the clip above.
