Nintendo Just Killed Our Hopes Of Princess Daisy In The Mario Movie

Nintendo recently announced the voice cast for its upcoming Mario movie.

While some fan favorites were included, one character was notably absent: Princess Daisy.

This news has disappointed many fans who were hoping to see the spunky princess on the big screen.

Daisy first appeared in the 1989 game "Super Mario Land" and has since become a beloved character.

Her absence from the movie has led to speculation about the film's storyline and which characters will be featured.

Some have theorized that Daisy's exclusion could be due to her relatively minor role in the Mario franchise.

Others have suggested that her omission may be because of the limited number of female characters in the Mario universe.

Despite the disappointment, fans are still eagerly anticipating the release of the movie, which is set to hit theaters in 2022.
