The Super Mario Galaxy Movie continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. From Glen Powell’s surprising casting as Smash Bros. fan favorite Fox McCloud, to Brie Larson’s joyous enthusiasm about playing Rosalina, to everything about Donald Glover’s quest to voice Yoshi, the Internet has gotten so much mileage out of the movie and its press tour.
And yet, a new clip involving Luigi voice actor Charlie Day might take the cake. While being interviewed by the Italian film podcast Tintoria, Day was asked the following question: “You play Luigi, a great Italian guy. Who’s your favorite Luigi in recent American history?” As Day’s cast members like Anya Taylor-Joy and Keegan-Michael Key begin to react, Day names none other than Luigi Mangione, the young man connected to the death of UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson in December of 2024.
