Glen Powell and Donald Glover Called ‘Super Mario Galaxy’ Studio Asking to Voice Fox McCloud and Yoshi: They Had ‘Passion About Being Involved With Nintendo’

> “When we were working on the first movie, we began to get phone calls from actors,” Illumination boss Chris Meledandri told Forbes ahead of the sequel’s theatrical release. “They started communicating their enthusiasm. After the first movie was done, there were two phone calls that came from actors expressing incredible conviction and passion about being involved with Nintendo, and one of them was from Glen Powell. He explained that we had to understand how deeply he loved the character of Fox McCloud. His dream was one day to be part of a ‘Star Fox’ movie. I’m listening to this going, ‘He has no idea that Miyamoto-san and I are talking about Star Fox being in this new movie,’ and Glen is expressing this passion for this.”

Donald Glover sampled ‘Aquatic Ambiance’ from Donkey Kong Country (which is referenced in the first movie) years ago.

Do a barrel roll. -Peppy

I too would like to be paid a stupid amount of money for 30 minutes of half hearted voice work in my pajamas.

I think Glen Powell just wanted to be in something that isn't likely to bomb.

Glen Powell Yippee Yo Yippee Yay!?

I too am passionate about being involved and would like to voice a Star fox character! (hope this works)
