Charles Martinet, renowned as the iconic voice behind Nintendo's legendary character Mario, is set to delight fans at MCM Comic Con Birmingham 2024 this November.
As the official Mario Ambassador, Martinet continues to make a significant impact on Nintendo's legacy, having voiced not only Mario, but also other beloved characters such as Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi across numerous Super Mario titles on platforms like the Nintendo Switch.
MCM Comic Con Birmingham, one of the UK’s most anticipated pop culture events, will be hosting Martinet as a featured guest throughout its three-day run.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet Martinet in person, secure autographs, and pose for photographs—an experience that promises to be a highlight for both longtime Nintendo fans and newer enthusiasts of the Mario franchise.
In addition to meet-and-greet sessions, Charles Martinet is set to headline an exclusive guest panel on Saturday of the convention at 12:30pm.
This engaging panel will provide insights into his storied career voicing Super Mario and discuss his new role as Mario Ambassador, a position formally announced by Nintendo in August 2023 following his retirement from active voiceover work.
Attendees can look forward to hearing Martinet reflect on his contributions to Nintendo’s most successful series and the cultural impact of Super Mario, a franchise that has sold over 800 million units worldwide as of 2023.
Martinet’s appearances at events such as MCM Comic Con Birmingham continue to energize the Nintendo community, especially as the company celebrates the enduring popularity of the Super Mario series on the Nintendo Switch and through annual events like Nintendo Direct.
His ongoing engagement with fans reinforces Nintendo’s commitment to its legacy and the vibrant community that surrounds its games.
Tickets for MCM Comic Con Birmingham 2024 are currently available via the official event website.
