Chris Pratt sees unbounded potential in future Super Mario Bros. films, and it seems that the star wants the popular video game franchise to result in "a lot" more movies.

Pratt stars as the voice of Mario in the upcoming animated film The Super Mario Bros. Movie, where fans will get to see Mario, Luigi, and company come to life on the big screen. For Pratt, the new flick adeptly taps into each fan's childhood wonder.

"When you see this movie, it's really a treat because it has that reach, and you have that sentiment," Pratt told IGN in a recent interview. "You have these Easter eggs, and you have all of this feeling that you almost don't even realize, going into the movie, how much you care about these characters until you hear the voice. And you see the outfits, and you hear the music, and you hear the score. And it's like, 'Oh my gosh.' "

He continued: "It mines this vein of sentiment from our childhood and meaning from our childhood. So get ready for a lot of these movies. And, thankfully, the movie really works."

While nothing is official yet, Pratt has already teased a sequel to the upcoming film. In an interview with CBR, Pratt said that the film's post-credit scene gives fans a taste of what could be next in store for the franchise. He also said that there's "been talk" of a movie centered on Luigi's Mansion, the 2001 Gamecube game.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which will hit theaters on April 5, sees Pratt's Mario team up with Princess Peach in order to take on Bowser before he conquers the entire world. The film is packed with a world-class voice acting lineup: Keegan Michael-Key voices Toad, Jack Black voices Bowser, and Anya-Taylor Joy voices Princess Peach. Seth Rogen and Fred Armisen also star in the film, playing Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong, respectively.

Pratt, like countless others, has a personal relationship to Mario, having played the series since he was a kid. The upcoming film seeks to pay homage to that personal relationship people have with their favorite platforming plumbers.

"Mario is a tile and a mosaic of [a fan's] childhood," Pratt said. "It's the soundtrack to their life as young kids, so they do care deeply about it. And all of that sentiment is what makes the experience of seeing this movie so great. I mean, I am that guy. I was nine years old when I first played Mario. I played the arcade version. I played the Nintendo Entertainment system. I played every iteration of this game from the time that I was a child all the way until recently. I love Mario just like everybody else."

Charlie Day, who voices Mario's beloved brother Luigi, echoed Pratt's sentiment.

"People have an attachment to [the franchise]," Day said. "So I think our job was just to make sure that we approach our acting with as much care and passion as people have with the games. It's a big responsibility, in a sense. I think we were lucky to get to do it, and I think people are gonna be really pleased with how it turned out."
