Afghani’s credits list is that of a relative newcomer with only a handful of roles previously. Past roles include playing Arnold in Genshin Impact and Raditz in Dragon Ball R&R.

In late August, Nintendo announced that Charles Martinet would no longer be the voice of Mario, Luigi and others from now on. Charles would instead become Mario Ambassador, a role that not even he knew what would entail at the time.

At the time, Nintendo also didn’t reveal who would be the new voice of Mario in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Nintendo instead said that the new actor would be revealed in the credits of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

That is until this week when a voice cast list was allegedly leaked. The list didn’t attribute anyone to any specific role, which caused many other outlets to just run with who they thought were Mario and Luigi and others in the cast.
