Here’s what he said, “We’ve all known these characters for years. Like I said 30, almost 40 years, Mario’s been floating around in the minds and hearts of all of us. They wanted to craft a 90-minute narrative to kind of explain who these guys are and what they’re about and you get to see that now and it’s very it gives me a lot of hope thinking not only are we going to be introduced hopefully to many Mario movies but also a whole Nintendo Cinematic Universe.” 

Then, he stressed two projects that could top this, and they were nothing but “that Zelda movie, that Metroid movie.” This was the second time someone mentioned their love for Zelda from stardom. Previously, it was the Stranger Things star, aka Dustin Henderson, who claimed his love for Zelda and hoped to see a movie adaptation soon.
