Donkey Kong Is Getting His Own Movie
The iconic character already made an appearance in "The Super Mario Bros. Movie"
"The Super Mario Galaxy" movie is not the only new film project from the "Mario" universe! According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, film distributor Universal is actually developing a standalone "Donkey Kong" movie.
The first hint surfaced back in July, with a copyright filing by Nintendo and Universal. The project was officially classified as a "motion picture," which strongly points to a film for the big screen. Still, no official details have been revealed so far.
The decision to give Donkey Kong his own adventure doesn't come as a surprise. The iconic character already had a prominent appearance in "The Super Mario Bros. Movie". However, insiders believe that the "Donkey Kong" movie is unlikely to hit theaters before 2027 at the earliest.
