During Sony Pictures Entertainment’s CinemaCon panel, the company revealed that filming for The Legend of Zelda movie has wrapped. The film will release in theaters on May 7, 2027.
While the panel didn’t reveal any new details about the film’s story, nor did it confirm any new cast members, more news will likely surface soon considering that it will soon start post-production. It will star Bo Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link. Previously, Shigeru Miyamoto showcased the official designs for both characters via a social media post.
Link’s design features his iconic green tunic, minus the classic hat. He also has blonde hair, which separates him from previous designs in the franchise. Zelda has her blue outfit from Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, as well as her brown-haired look from Twilight Princess. The reveal came after set leaks that hinted at the designs for Link and Zelda, plus the inclusion of a figure who appears to be Impa, played by Dichen Lachman.
Wes Ball directs the upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie. In the past, Ball directed The Maze Runner franchise and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. The movie is produced by Arad Productions, known for its work on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Kraven the Hunter, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Uncharted, and the upcoming Metal Gear Solid film. Nintendo is co-financing the film with Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Lastly, according to new reports from Video Games Chronicle and credible leaker Natethehate, a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will release in 2026. The most recent Nintendo film adaptation, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, is available to watch now in theaters.
