The Super Mario Bros. Movie Is A Very Good Sign For Jack Black's Video Game Movies

After such a successful outing in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Jack Black's future video game movies look positive. He was easily the best part of the Mario film, and while this doesn't guarantee things will be the same in his other projects, it is a good sign. There are plenty of exciting things to expect from the Borderlands movie and Jack Black as Claptrap stands out. The sarcastic robot is perfectly suited to Black's comedic style and his character will presumably be cracking jokes constantly at the rest of the cast. His role as Steve is much harder to predict given the character is a silent protagonist.

His Minecraft casting continuing his gaming movie trend proves the actor is all about fun franchises and his enthusiasm should result in more great performances.
