The koopa king joins other villains in a "bad guy support group."

Bowser, Zangief, Dr. Eggman, and Dr. Wily are making cameos in Disney's upcoming animated film, Wreck-It Ralph.
The reveal was made in Disney's D23 magazine, and shows the four in a "bad guy support group", alongside a previously revealed Kano and Pac-Man ghost. The appearances mirror those made in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, when Disney and Looney Tunes characters were also given cameo roles. The actual extent of these roles (and whether other video game cameos will occur) is unknown.
Wreck-It Ralph is a film by Walt Disney Animation Studios, which follows the titular character, the villain of an arcade game, attempting to prove that he has the ability to become a hero.
The film is scheduled for a November 2 release date.
Zangief? Wouldn't M. Bison be more appropriate if they're going for a failed Street Fighter villian?
OF COURSE!!
OK, I have been following the movie since last year when concepts of the movie first leaked out. I had friends that saw a storyboard sequence of a scene at last year's D23 convention (which they loved and can't wait for the movie). I even saw the mock arcade cabinet Disney had for the game, and I found out about these cameos from this article.
If Bowser and the rest of the characters will look like their actual selves (as in, they will look like the actual characters and are not fake interpretations of it) I am completely sold on this movie. Yes, I was already interested in the movie based on its concept, but this has not sold me.
The same D23 article also has artwork of other worlds, and the Halo-Space Marine world looks great, especially in how they captured the sci fi aspects of it.
