Really glad to help out! And it will be a pleasure to update that soon when we get an announcement ;PI've now added the new segment of the OP i've made mention of before! Once again need to express my thanks to @CyberWolfJV for creating the wonderful timeline of Donkey Kong releases!
OhAlso, if we get a DK movie, I really want Jemaine Clement as K. Rool!
If they get this man on... daYUM.Don't think I've seen anyone else bring this up, but
You can see a portrait of Funky Kong in DK's house. It's the scene with Cranky looking at the SMW styled map

Mario movie stuff
Eric Bauza apparently was the Diddy voice in the movie, I wonder if he would stick around for a DK movie. He did a good job, sounded just like the DKC TV show so I would definitely be for him being the voice.

If they don't keep Bauza for Diddy, I think Greg Cipes (Beast Boy) would do a good job.
I LIKE this casting.So if there's a DK spin-off movie, who would youwant to play K. Rool?
It might be a bit of a cliche answer as he's made a career out of voicing big scary monsters, but if I had to pick one person, it'd be Keith David:
And not just because the K canonically stands for Keith!
I see K. Rool as a sadistic, feral animal pretending to be regal and composed. In a word... Ratigan.
Like a modern day Bugs BunnyThe material is there for K Rool to be a phenomenal animated villain
The crazy look in his eye, constantly dressing up as other personas, the flamboyance….
The material is there, I NEED them to take advantage of it
Think you accidentally put your pic in my quote lol.I LIKE this casting.
Similarly, I'd volunteer Michael Dorn. You want someone who can run the full gamut of "proud warrior race figurehead" (Worf/Star Trek, General Mozar/TMNT2012), jovial comedic personality (I. M. Weasel/Cow n Chicken) to outright imposing, nigh-unstoppable menace (Battle Beast/Invincible)? That's who'd I call.
Kevin Michael Richardson is another good one, and already "in the system" since he played Kamek in the Mario movie. Let him give Rool the same absolutely UNHINGED energy as Principal Lewis (American Dad), why don'cha?!
Yeah, seeing the movie convinced me Nintendo still has lots of plans for DK. Despite only appearing in the second half of the movie, you could argue that DK had the biggest character arc of anyone in it. He was easily my favorite character in it and I'm really excited about the potential of a spin-off movie.It’s crazy how DK was literally half the movie. He was the real other Super Mario Bro, not Luigi. To me it’s painfully obvious that one of this movie’s goals was to reestablish DK in the cultural zeitgeist and prime people for a DK movie, theme park and eventual game(s).
And they’ll definitely succeed with that goal!
Keith David has been my pick for a while too!So if there's a DK spin-off movie, who would you want to play K. Rool?

He was my pick for Bowser for decades, but he would be fantastic as King Keith Rool as well.Keith David has been my pick for a while too!
Heh...yeah, I guess I did! Hahaha!Think you accidentally put your pic in my quote lol.
Michael Dorn would also be a great pick. I do love KMR but I would feel a little weird having him do double duty with Kamek (even though KMR and Keith David have very similar tenor and deliveries, to the point where KMR has subbed in for David on multiple occasions).
I feel really good about it releasing this year.The movie certainly got me hungrier than ever for a new DK game! God I hope we finally see something this year.
"crashing through boxes"
The only thing I can think of is the crates that the animal buddies were in.Yeah I thought that was funny too, lol. I actually can't remember any time DK has crashed through a box.

It's hard to fathom, but it's true. We're right at the beginning of the DK renaissance and I don't think most of us have realized this yet. I get it if people only like DK bc of games, but I implore people to be open minded and enjoy DK in every form of media that we'll be getting in the future. I've always loved DK as a brand more than strictly a video game franchise, which is why I love the cartoon too. I also love movies and theme parks so I'm basically in Kong heaven now lolIn the coming years it's pretty likely we'll reach the point where we get consistent DK releases every few years not unlike Kirby. It's kind of funny but I can't even process the idea of that happening. I'm too used to not seeing new DK releases lmao
Pedro Pascal is waaay too sultry to voice Wario.They've been doing skits recently with Pedro Pascal in Mario Kart. Jack Black has said that he should play Wario. Maybe they're teasing these two characters appearances in future movies?
