Marshmello’s Smurfy Gig

Marshmello, the masked DJ behind hits like “Happier,” joins the Smurfs cast, announced May 13, 2025. His character is a secret, a big deal for an artist who rarely uses his real voice. With 16.8 billion Spotify streams and a 2022 Grammy nod, his step into animation is a must-watch for EDM fans.

A Smurf-Sized Prank: Marshmello’s X Post Reaction

On May 19, 2025, Marshmello shared a hilarious X post after receiving a package from the Smurfs movie team. The post includes a text exchange where the team offers to send “some Smurf stuff,” to which Marshmello replies, “Oh sure thing! Thanks y’all!” He then humorously notes the package’s light weight, revealing tiny Smurf costume pieces—a hat and pants—barely fitting his iconic helmet. Captioning it “okay. y’all got me good @SmurfsMovie,”
