Charles Martinet Who has voiced Mario since Super Mario 64 will no longer be lending his voice to the legendary plumber.

Nintendo have also confirmed that Martinet is not involved with the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Wonder which means both Mario and Luigi will be voiced by new voice actors.

Charles Martinet will continue to be involved with Mario in his new role as Mario Ambassador travelling to events around the world and meeting fans.

With all the rumors around wonder and then the whole movie ordeal I'm glad to hear that this seems to be a mutual thing and that Charles will stay on in his new role as "Mario Ambassador".

Given how protective Nintendo is over this IP I trust that the replacements will be faithful to the characters, even if it's gonna take quite a bit of getting used to!
