Although most of the focus has been on the Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/a><\/strong> in recent weeks, we’ve got some rather big news today about The Legend of Zelda<\/a> live-action film.<\/p>\n

According to an update at CinemaCon 2026, Sony Pictures has announced filming for Nintendo’s new movie has now officially wrapped (thanks for the heads up, IGN<\/a>). This follows an update in November last year<\/a>, when it was confirmed the movie was “in production” in New Zealand (aka the land of The Lord of Rings<\/strong> movie trilogy).<\/p>\n

The Zelda movie is currently scheduled for a global release<\/a> on 7th May 2027<\/strong>. Nintendo is co-funding the movie alongside Sony. Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto has worked with producer Avi Arad on the film, and Wes Ball is the director (Maze Runner<\/strong>). The film will also be streamed exclusively on Netflix<\/a> following its theatrical and home entertainment release windows.<\/p>\n

Nintendo hasn’t revealed much about what exactly to expect from the live-action Zelda movie just yet or shared any official trailers, but Miyamoto previously confirmed Link would be played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth<\/strong> and Zelda would be played by Bo Bragason<\/strong>. Some set footage was also reportedly leaked last year<\/a>. When we hear more updates, we’ll let you know.<\/em><\/p>\n
