The ensemble cast of the Super Mario cinematic universe already has their sights set on the perfect actor to bring Wario to the big screen: Hollywood legend Danny DeVito.

As discussions heat up regarding the franchise's next installment—referred to by the stars as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie—the actors have eagerly weighed in on who should voice Nintendo's iconic, garlic-loving antagonist. Leading the cast's fan-casting wishlist is none other than DeVito, whose signature gruff comedic style perfectly aligns with the notoriously greedy anti-hero.

While official casting announcements for the upcoming Nintendo and Illumination project remain strictly under wraps, the current cast's endorsement of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star has sparked widespread excitement among fans. Whether the studio will actually heed the actors' advice and bring DeVito into the Mushroom Kingdom remains to be seen.
