'Zelda' Movie Casting Rumors: Everything We Know
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Legend of Zeldais about to take a step from the video game screen to the big screen. A live-action film of the beloved video game, produced by creator Shigeru Miyamoto, was confirmed to be in development in 2023. This is what we know so far about the rumored castings for the film. The Context Created by Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka in 1986, the Zelda game follows Link, an elf-like knight who fights to save the titular Princess Zelda from a demon-warlord named Ganon. The game is one of Nintendo's most popular franchises. Wes Ball, who directed the dystopian series The Maze Runner, will direct the film, and producer Avi Arad and screenwriter Derek Connolly are also attached to the project. Nintendo is set to partner with Sony to distribute the movie. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom game for the Nintendo Switch (left).

More Business Wire/Emma McIntyre/WireImage Who Is Rumored To Be Cast In The 'Zelda' Movie? Casting for the live-action Legend of Zelda movie has been kept under wraps, and as of reporting, nothing has been officially confirmed. However, one name that has been thrown into the mix is Euphoria star Hunter Schafer. Fans have long shared that they think Schafer should be cast as Princess Zelda, with many arguing that the actress bears a striking resemblance to the cartoon princess. Schafer has commented on it, saying in 2023 that it would be "so cool" to play the role, according to Variety. The rumor mill about Schafer playing Zelda amped up after industry insider Daniel Richtman said in a blog post that she was being seriously considered for the role. Social media has reacted strongly to Schafer potentially being cast in the film because Schafer is trans. Some social media users expressed criticism of her potentially being cast in the role as a result, but many have spoken out in defense of Schafer, strongly supporting her casting. In a post viewed more than 2 million times on X, formerly Twitter, @SILENTPRINCESS wrote: "imagine being so bigoted you can't see this as the most perfect casting for princess zelda just because you're a tr*nsphobe." Schafer spoke out on social media earlier this year about the "harsh reality" of President Donald Trump's executive orders that have rolled back protections for trans people. "Trans people are beautiful," she said at the time. "We are never going to stop existing, I am never going to stop being trans, a letter on a passport can't change that." Patricia Summersett, who voiced Zelda in The Legenda of Zela: Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity and Tears of the Kingdom, has also said that she would reprise her role in the live-action movie. Speaking to Games Radar in 2023, she said: "I would love to play Zelda over and over again." Another name that has been rumored for the titular role is A Minecraft Movie actress Emma Myers. Asked by Digital Spy if she would be interested in playing the role, she said: "I mean, whoever wants me in a video game movie." Other names that have popped up include Tom Holland, with the Spider-Man star having been a subject of frequent fan castings for the character of Link. Walker Scobell, who is known for his role in Percy Jackson and the Olympians,has also been suggested by fans. Another name floated by fans is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who fans have suggested could take on the role of Ganon. What People Are Saying Shigeru Miyamoto told Nintendo Investors in 2023 during a Q&A: "We face an extremely high hurdle in producing a film that will not disappoint the global fan base." Hunter Schafer, speaking about playing Zelda, per Variety: "I love the game, personally. I played it as a kid and I still play it now. Who knows! That would be pretty cool." What Happens Next The live-action remake of the Legend of Zelda will be released in cinemas on March 26, 2027.

‘The Legend Of Zelda' Movie May Land A Perfectly Cast Princess, Per Report
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 20: Hunter Schafer attends the HBO Max FYC event for 'Euphoria' at ... More Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on April 20, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Emma McIntyre/WireImage) It remains to be seen where Wes Ball's upcoming Legend of Zelda movie is a good idea at baseline, but now a casting search appears to be spooling up for its major roles, including the titular princess. A new report from inside DanielRPK reveals that a specific actress is being eyed for the role, one that social media fans were theory-casting even before this news broke. That would be Euphoria's Hunter Schafer. As soon as the movie was announced, side-by-side comparisons started emerging about how perfectly she would fit into the role. Now, the film may have taken that to heart and may be pursuing the star. Schafer first rose to prominence in Euphoria, the controversial HBO teen drama that is finally filming its third season after a lengthy break, Schafer included. Since then, she's appeared in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Yorgos Lanthimos' Kinds of Kindness and the horror film Cuckoo. She's about to star in the upcoming Blade Runner 2099 series and has 5-6 other projects on the way. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess It is not yet clear which game story is being adapted for The Legend of Zelda movie, one that many were surprised was going to be live-action at all, given what Nintendo did with the massively profitable Super Mario Bros. movie. It feels like a big risk, but much of this will come down to casting. It's easy to see Schaefer as a good Zelda, but the key role will be Link, a character who barely, if ever, speaks in the games, and it's going to be very interesting to see how that aspect is handled. Here's what Zelda superfan and the film's director Wes Ball said about the project to Totalfilm back in March of 2024: "I have this awesome idea," Ball said. "I've been thinking about it for a long freakin' time, of how cool a Zelda movie would be... I want to fulfill people's greatest desires. I know it's important, this [Zelda] franchise, to people and I want it to be a serious movie. A real movie that can give people an escape." So, this seems to be pitched as high fantasy rather than the more cartoony versions of the game we've seen. And that makes a lot of sense for live-action. I hope we hear more about the film soon, and if it's confirmed that Schafer will play Zelda? That would be a great start. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.
