Uli Latukefu apparently lands role as Ganondorf in the Zelda Movie

The Australian actor Uli Latukefu has seemingly landed the role as the mighty Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda movie. The news was revealed via Deadline sources who say that Latukefu has inked a multi-picture deal, meaning that we should expect to see him in more Zelda movies. Uli Latukefu joins the likes of Bo Bragason who is playing Princess Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link.

“Sony first announced it would distribute and team with Nintendo to co-finance a Zelda movie in the fall of 2023, with the Planet of the Apes franchise’s Wes Ball coming aboard to direct, and Miyamoto and Avi Arad set to produce. T.S. Nowlin penned the most recent draft of the script. The film is slated for release in theaters on May 7, 2027.”

  1. I thought they’d go with a more well known, heavy hitter actor for the villain. This guys been around though I’m open to it. Glad he has some age over the protagonists. Would be weird having a 20 year old as the big baddy.

  2. One of the reasons I don’t watch movies anymore is because I keep seeing the same actors over and over again and it just takes me out of the experience (Tom Holland and Zendaya for example- they’re in 4 or 5 things this year alone).

    I have no idea who this person is. I don’t know what he’s known for, but apparently he’s got what the producers are looking for in a Ganondorf.

  3. Ganondorf is the only character an actor could play for a very long time if they have the movies all take place in multiple eras of the movies’ timeline. This guy could be set for life.
