Filming for the Zelda movie is complete
Good news for the adaptation of the cult video game, worn by Wes Ball, director of Labyrinth and Planet of the Apes: The New Kingdom.
The kingdom of Hyrule is getting closer.
The highly anticipated film The Legend of Zeldain live action, has just reached a key milestone. Supported by Nintendo and Sony Pictures Entertainment, the project is now in post-production.
During CinemaCon, Sony confirmed that filming has now wrapped (via IGN). No images or extracts were revealed this weekend during the event, but the news is positive: production is progressing as planned.
Remember that within the cast, we will see Bo Bragason playing Zelda, while Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will lend his features to Link. The announcement was made directly by Shigeru Miyamoto, historic figure of Nintendo, who said “very impatient” to see these iconic characters come to life on the big screen.
Behind the camera, the project relies on a solid team: Wes Ball directs, with a script by Derek Connolly. Miyamoto produces alongside Marvel Studios alumnus Avi Arad. A project announced in 2023, co-financed by Nintendo and Sony, and which is now progressing at real speed.
The stakes are immense. Since its beginnings in 1986, The Legend of Zelda has established itself as one of the most cult licenses in video games. And given the crazy success of the Mario films recently, Nintendo intends to continue riding the wave in theaters.
The movie Zelda is expected in theaters on May 7, 2027.
