18 Nov
Summary
- Seth Rogen wants to continue voicing Donkey Kong
- Alleged Donkey Kong movie in development, may release in 2028
- Nintendo franchises to have movies in theaters for 3 consecutive years
According to recent rumors, a Donkey Kong movie adaptation is currently in development and may be released as early as 2028. This news comes on the heels of the first trailer for the highly anticipated Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which notably did not feature Seth Rogen's Donkey Kong character despite his prominent role in the original film.
Despite Donkey Kong's absence from the Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer, Rogen has expressed his desire to continue voicing the character. Fans have also been speculating about a potential Donkey Kong spinoff movie, and this latest rumor suggests that their wishes may soon be granted.
If the insider information is accurate, the Donkey Kong movie would be a welcome addition to a slate of Nintendo franchise adaptations set to hit theaters over the next few years. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is scheduled for release in 2026, followed by The Legend of Zelda film in 2027. The potential Donkey Kong movie in 2028 would complete a three-year run of major Nintendo properties making the leap to the big screen.
