CinemaCon is currently taking place in Las Vegas and Sony Pictures had a small bit of news to share about the upcoming The Legend of Zelda film during their panel. Co-produced by Nintendo and directed by Wes Ball, filming has officially wrapped in New Zealand for the live-action adaptation. Now moving into post-production, The Legend of Zelda hits theaters on 7th May 2027, with Benjamin Evan Ainsworth starring as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda.
The Legend of Zelda movie has wrapped filming
I can’t wait to see this! I’m excited to see all the side characters come to life on the big screen.
I know asking for my goat Tingle is probably too much lol… but I’d love to see Beetle, at some point!
I am happy to hear they’ve wrapped up filming, and I imagine we’ll get our first trailer this summer ☀️
While I would have preferred Nintendo and Universal to go the animated route, I still have high hopes for this movie 🎬
I still think LoZ would fare better as an episodic series- I can’t imagine them being able to fit an entire Zelda experience into a ~2 hour movie when the games take so much longer, even without side content (and disregarding speedruns, obviously).
That’s a fair take
I’m glad Zelda is a female. 😁
Please be based on Ocarina of time.
@Mason – The reason the games take longer is because of all the dungeons. Nobody would want to sit though a 8 hour series or movie watching Link collect endless keys in dungeons 😂
It will be done like the Mario bros movie, nice and simple.
There should be puzzles, no cool puzzles then no watching!
Beyond excited for this. Will be taking my 12 year old with me to see it. He’s just played a couple Zelda games, hoping this spurs more interest for him 😁
