After the immense success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie around the globe, rumors are flying that producers Nintendo and Illumination are looking to adopt more classics that are already in production for the silver screen. After making the highest-grossing video game movie ever, the same team now looks to be at work with more Nintendo classics like Donkey Kong, The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2, and The Legend of Zelda.

Daniel Richtman, who has a history of igniting rumors that end in fruition more often than not, has recently sparked further rumors through his Patreon that more Nintendo properties are on the horizon in the not-so-distant future. The rumors have also been sparked by a recent post on Reddit by a popular page.

The Legend of Zelda movie may be happening

The Universal Studios-owned Illumination Productions is not likely to break off their partnership just now after The Super Mario Bros. Movie made it clear that the equation can make projects work, and how! However, the incredible records made by the movie are the very reason that makes producing The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 an unsure project for many, both in the film industry as well as within the gaming community.

Among the names being rumored to appear on the big screen, The Legend of Zelda may be the most in focus by fans. Many hope to see the dark tone of Link’s adventures across Hyrule to be preserved if an official announcement is made. Even though many fans could hope for a better studio to take on the project than Illumination, any concrete evidence of the project becoming a reality would surely get the fans’ hype going.

How successful can Luigi be on the big screen?

Fans around the world went wild after their favorite princess-saving plumber stepped into the silver screen. The immense success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie may make it a risky affair to take on a new project whose success is likely to be borne by Luigi.

Even though Luigi is also a highly popular video game character, he is definitely on the same level as Mario himself. Even though the character played a significant role in the billion-dollar amassing movie this year, speculations about Luigi’s potential to pull off a similarly successful movie are ripe. However, fans look forward to a Luigi’s Mansion movie, simply to witness his signature demeanor on screen.

On the other hand, the prospects and scope of an upcoming Donkey Kong movie may present great success for the Nintendo-Illumination partnership. If the rumors pan out in reality and the whole family of Donkey Kong puts up a show for the fans, the box office may yet again see another stellar success story, given that Donkey Kong stole the show in The Super Mario Bros. Movie for many fans.
