Bowser should have a deep voice. He's a fucking dragon.

He was voiced by a female singer in the 1986 anime. Black will have to work hard to be more miscast than she was. But it still seems a bit underwhelming to have a comedy actor with a reasonably high-pitched voice as Bowser. It'll give him a case of Mike Tyson syndrome. Or, more realistically, Bowser will be a butt-monkey which completely negates the point of making him a dragon with spiked metal wristbands.

I'm expecting them to at least slap some voice filters on to make him sound more booming and ominous.

I doubt he'll have a voice filter because that would defeat the purpose of him being Jack Black. He's one of the biggest names in the movie.

It's an Illumination production so no, you're getting Jack Black as is and that's that.

JB is really good at doing various voices so Im withholding judgement until seeing it in action.

Yeah this movie is going to be garbage (or at best, mediocre schlock for children). It's made by illumination, even with good voice actors it would still be hopeless. I'm sure some nerds will have low enough standards to like it but it's got no chance of being good

Charlie Day as Luigi is pretty fire though. Hopefully it leads into a Luigi's Mansion spinoff.

Nobody was hyped for Jared Leto as Joker. Or Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.

More often than not, an apparent miscast is an actual miscast.

He's honestly the one I'm feeling the least. He has vocal range, but is still not particularly gravely or deep.

No disrespect to Jack Black but it makes it seem like Bowser is going to be a more silly, clownish character rather than a "serious" one.

Bowser is rarely a serious character

Maybe it can work, bowser is kinda of a comic relief character especially in the M&L rpg games

Since Martinet is in it, maybe he'll be Wario?

Jack Black's voice really isn't that high normally. Moreso when he is singing.

Unless he's yelling excitedly the whole movie.

Yeah Jack Black as Bowser is pretty bad. But everyone's too focused on Chris Pratt and Seth Rogen being Mario and DK

They did only announce the cast. No actual voiceovers, yet.

Yes, but only because Dennis Hopper was human whereas Jack Black will presumably play Bowser as a Koopa.

If we are fantasy booking Bowser, then I'd argue getting Garrosh Hellscreams voice actor to voice Bowser. Patrick Seitz.
