Deadline<\/em> reported Thursday that the upcoming The Legend of Zelda<\/em> movie will feature Australian actor Uli Latukefu as the villain Ganondorf, and the publication notes that \u201cWe hear Latukefu inked a multi-picture deal.\u201d<\/p>\n Nintendo or Sony haven\u2019t formally confirmed that there\u2019s more than one movie in the works, though it\u2019s been rumored that Nintendo and Sony might be planning a trilogy. Still, it\u2019s not exactly unexpected that more Zelda<\/em> movies might be on the way, especially given the huge success of the recent Super Mario<\/em> films at the box office.<\/p>\n Nintendo initially announced the live-action Zelda<\/em> movie, which it\u2019s making with Sony Pictures Entertainment, back in 2023, with Wes Ball directing with Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad producing. Last year, Nintendo announced that Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth had been cast as Princess Zelda and Link, respectively. The movie is set to release on April 30th, 2027, and filming has officially wrapped.<\/p>\n In a separate report published later on Thursday, Deadline<\/em> says that Dichen Lachman, Yvonne Strahovski, and the late Sam Neill will be in the Zelda<\/em> movie as well. Neill\u2019s role is unclear, but the article says Lachman plays Impa while Strahovski has been cast as \u201ca queen character.\u201d<\/p>\n Nintendo is also preparing a big new Zelda<\/em> game: the company has announced a Switch 2 remake of Ocarina of Time<\/em> that\u2019s set to launch sometime in 2026.<\/p>\n
