Given that it's inspired by one of the best Mario games ever, there are high expectations for Illumation's animated sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. But the voice behind Mario's (currently miniaturised) nemesis, Jack Black, says fans of the game have plenty to look forward to.

Speaking exclusively to GamesRadar+ in London, Black touched on next year's sequel to the $1.36bn-grossing Super Mario Bros. Movie, which is taking its cues from 2007's Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii. "I am a sworn to secrecy, but there's tons of Easter eggs, and anyone who loves that universe will be very pleased with the way that it's been brought to the big screen."

I'm the Managing Editor, Entertainment here at GamesRadar+, overseeing the site's film and TV coverage. In a previous life as a print dinosaur, I was the Deputy Editor of Total Film magazine, and the news editor at SFX magazine. Fun fact: two of my favourite films released on the same day - Blade Runner and The Thing.
