The film adaptation of the video game series The Legend of Zelda is scheduled to premiere on March 26, 2027. This announcement comes from Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Wes Ball, known for directing the Maze Runner trilogy and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, will direct the movie. Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of The Legend of Zelda, and Avi Arad (producer of X-Men, Spider-Man) will serve as producers. Currently, no further details about the film have been disclosed.
Rumors about a The Legend of Zelda movie adaptation first emerged in June 2023. At that time, insiders suggested it would be an animated film in the style of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. However, Chris Meledandri, head of Illumination, later refuted this information. In September, reports indicated that Universal Pictures would take on the project.
