The live-action Legend of Zelda<\/a><\/strong> movie is due out in cinemas on 7th May 2027<\/strong>, and it’s now been officially revealed as part of IMAX’s blockbuster slate next year.<\/p>\n

This update was shared in IMAX’s Q1 2026 Corporation Earnings Conference Call<\/a>. As you can see in the official slide, the Sony Pictures release will be joined in IMAX theatres by various other “major franchises” including Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 4<\/a><\/strong>, due out in March.<\/p>\n

IMAX notes in fine print that this release slate on display reflects the current studio scheduling as of 30th April 2026.<\/p>\n

So, if you want a truly immersive experience<\/a> on a very big screen, an IMAX screening may be the way to go.<\/p>\n

This follows the news earlier this year that under agreement with Sony Pictures Entertainment the live-action Zelda movie will be streamed exclusively on Netflix<\/a> following its “theatrical home entertainment release periods”.<\/p>\n

Last month, the Zelda movie’s Director of Photography, Gyula Pados, supposedly revealed a key image of Link<\/a>.<\/p>\n
