'Variety' interviewed Pratt on June 22 at the premiere of 'The Terminal List,' his new Amazon Prime Video series.

he's not Italian, 'Variety' touched on the subject.
Pratt told the publication
that he's "updated" Mario's voice.

It’s an animated voiceover narrative. It’s not a live-action movie. I’m not gonna be wearing a plumber suit running all over. , Chris Pratt, to 'Variety'.
I’m providing a voice for an animated character, and it is updated and unlike anything you’ve heard in the Mario
world before, Chris Pratt, to 'Variety'.
Chris Meledandri of Illumination Entertainment also recently defended Pratt's work, calling it "phenominal" in an interview with TooFab.
