Brie Larson in the Mario Galaxy Movie… Good Idea or Big Mistake?

Brie Larson is officially voicing Rosalina in the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and fans are already split down the middle. After the first Super Mario Bros. Movie became a massive hit with audiences — even as critics trashed it — Nintendo is clearly betting big again. But with Brie Larson’s history of controversy from her Captain Marvel days, this casting choice has people asking one big question: is this a good idea or a huge mistake?

It’s been a few years since Brie’s public image took a hit — from the awkward interviews to her comments about race and critics, and the fallout from The Marvels flop — but maybe this could be her comeback moment. She’s not front-and-center this time, just lending her voice to an iconic Nintendo character, and that might be exactly what she needs to remind audiences she can still shine in the right role.

Whether you love or hate the decision, this casting says a lot about how Nintendo and Hollywood are approaching fan culture right now. The first Mario movie proved that audiences don’t need critics to tell them what’s fun — and maybe this next one will prove that redemption arcs can still happen in Hollywood.

What do you think — did Nintendo just make a bold move, or did they set themselves up for another fan backlash?
