Seth Rogen sees "opportunity" for a Donkey Kong spinoff

While it is still relatively early to talk about spinoffs, Rogen has teased the possibility of a Donkey Kong solo movie. Speaking with IGN, the actor says he is excited to do a spinoff, showing a great deal of enthusiasm for the character (or the attached paycheck).

"I mean, I can confirm that people keep telling me that they've heard there might be a spinoff," Rogen teased. "There's been no official [confirmation]. I think until the movie comes out and people get to see it and say what they say about it..." He adds, "But it's something I would be excited to do. I've had a really good time making the movie."

The actor sees a lot of opportunities considering a good number of Mario-related characters are featured in the film. Rogen also shared his fondness for the characters in the movie as he grew up knowing them.

"There's like several hundred games involving these characters, so I would imagine there's more than, like, 90 minutes of movie they could extract from them," Rogen explained. "There's dozens of worlds and stories. For me, I grew up with Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong and all this stuff, so I'm like very fond of it, and it's very fun to see it brought to life. So yeah, it's something that I would continue to do."

Mario actor Chris Pratt also echoes Rogen's excitement for sequels and spinoffs. The Guardians of the Galaxy star teased that more movies are coming. "[This movie] mines this vein of sentiment from our childhood and meaning from our childhood," Pratt shared. "So get ready for a lot of these movies. And, thankfully, the movie really works."

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is premiering next week on April 5, 2023.
