The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 already has the perfect villain duo to replace Bowser after the success of the original. The movie was a huge hit that won big at the box office, making it an instant triumph for Illumination. With the franchise confirming a sequel, it will likely have to persevere without one of its highlights, Bowser. Bowser’s best Super Mario Bros. Movie scenes helped steal the show and make the movie so memorable, but the film’s ending makes it hard to bring him back after he was captured, limiting his chances of appearing in the sequel.
