"The live-action The Legend of Zelda movie from Sony Pictures and Nintendo is now filming. That's according to an update on the Film & Television Industry Alliance website, which states that production began on November 4 and will run through April 7, 2026. Production is taking place in Wellington, New Zealand. It's just the latest large-scale fantasy movie to be filmed there, following The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Chronicles of Narnia."
"The Zelda movie is not Nintendo's next movie, as the company is re-teaming with Illumination for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in 2026 after the huge success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023. The Zelda movie follows in 2027. And after that, Nintendo is set to produce even more movies as part of its plan to release a steady cadence of movies over time."
"As announced previously, Bo Bragason is playing Zelda, with Benjamin Evan Ainsworth cast as Link. Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto is a producer on the Zelda movie, alongside Marvel veteran Avi Arad. Maze Runner director Wes Ball is directing the film with Derek Connolly (Star Wars, Jurassic World, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu) writing the screenplay."
