Nintendo to produce Donkey Kong movie with Illumination

According to foreign media reports, after Nintendo and Illumination Pictures release the Mario movie, they will also adapt another well-known game character, Donkey Kong, into their own exclusive movie.

The above news comes from GiantFreakinRobot, which revealed that the Donkey Kong movie is still produced by Illumination Pictures, and Seth Aaron Rogen, who has participated in animated films such as "Kung Fu Panda" and "Shrek the Monsters", will be responsible for voicing Donkey Kong. It is worth mentioning that he is also the voice actor of Donkey Kong in the Mario movie scheduled to be released in December 2022.

The news also pointed out that characters such as Diddy Kong from the Donkey Kong series of games may also appear in the movie version, but audiences should not expect a large number of Mario-like characters to appear because the movie will focus on the world of Donkey Kong.

Since the filming of the Mario movie has been scheduled until December 2022, it is expected that the Donkey Kong movie can only be planned until 2023.
