However, Miyamoto confirms that Nintendo is being careful about meeting fan expectations, trying their best to not betray them. Furthermore, they'll be taking it slow in making these movies "one by one", as opposed to multiple projects at once. As such, fans hoping for news about Nintendo's next adaptation will have to wait until after the Super Mario movie.
Currently, Nintendo is rumoured to be working again with Illumination for the Donkey Kong movie. According to Giant Freakin Robot, that'll once again star Seth Rogen as the voice of DK, who's already confirmed for the initial movie. As such, we may see side characters being introduced first before getting their own film.
