Actor John Leguizamo, who played Luigi in the 1993 live-action Super Mario Bros., has stated that he will not be watching The Super Mario Bros. Movie because "they messed up the inclusion."

In an interview with TMZ, Leguizamo expressed his frustration with the lack of Latin representation in the movie, stating:

"They could've included a Latin character like I was groundbreaking, and then they stopped the groundbreaking. They messed up the inclusion. They dis-included. Just cast some Latin folk! We're 20% of the population. The largest people of color group, and we are underrepresented." Leguizamo said
