Ahead of the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Illumination has given a lot of attention to Seth Rogen's Donkey Kong. The iconic gorilla and the Italian plumber go way back to the arcades with the original Donkey Kong in 1981, but here, they're working together to stop the reign of terror at the hands of Bowser.
Aside from Donkey Kong and his grandfather Cranky, there's also DK's steadfast little buddy Diddy Kong along with the sisters Dixie and Tiny Kong, the ultra-strong Chunky Kong, his brother Kiddy Kong, and Lanky Kong who has no style or grace but does have a funny face. That's without bringing up other Kong friends like the fabulous Funky Kong and Swanky Kong or DK's girlfriend Candy Kong.
One other thing they have in common with the Fast and Furious family is a love for racing. As seen in teasers, DK definitely has the need for speed in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but he's also a skilled driver in the games, appearing in various Mario Kart games alongside Diddy Kong. In the past, Diddy also had his own spinoff racing game including other friends and crossovers with the other mascots of the legendary game studio Rare including Banjo and Conker.
Make it a Diddy Kong Racing/Speed Racer inspired movie. Done and done
It would be WAY better than the current Fast and Furious movies
