Business Insider Reports: John Leguizamo said that he'd "consider" accepting a role in a sequel to "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," but only if the film became more inclusive. Leguizamo, long an advocate for Latin representation in Hollywood, starred in the 1993 "Super Mario Bros." movie as Luigi opposite Bob Hoskins' Mario. The actor has called out the new animated "Super Mario Bros. Movie," which is voiced by Chris Pratt and Charlie Day as Mario and Luigi, for its comparative lack of diversity in the voice acting cast. Leguizamo told IndieWire that if the film became more inclusive in a hypothetical sequel, he wouldn't necessarily be opposed to joining the franchise. "If they start to do the right thing and add more inclusivity, I'd consider it," he said. Leguizamo is currently promoting his new MSNBC series 'Leguizamo Does America," which features the actor traveling from city to city in the United States highlighting Latino stories. He's also currently starring in "The Power" on Prime Video alongside Toni Collette, Toheeb Jimoh, and Auli'i Cravalho.

Good for Google. But that’s still not far enough.
