The premiere date for the live-action film based on the popular video game series, The Legend of Zelda, has been shifted. Originally planned for March 26, the movie is now set to be released on May 7, 2027. This update was shared on social media by the franchise`s creator, Shigeru Miyamoto.
Wes Ball, known for directing the “Maze Runner” trilogy and “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” is helming the project. Serving as producers are Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad, recognized for their work on films like “X-Men” and “Spider-Man.” As of now, no further details about the film`s plot or cast have been revealed.
Rumors about a potential adaptation of The Legend of Zelda first surfaced in June 2023. At that time, insider reports suggested it would be an animated feature, similar in style to “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” However, Illumination studio head Chris Meledandri quickly denied these claims. Later, in September 2023, information indicated that Universal Pictures was involved in the production.
