Back in 2023, Sony and Nintendo announced that they would co-finance a Legend of Zelda live-action adaptation, directed by Wes Ball of the Maze Runner franchise.

Miyamoto said this was due to “production reasons,” but a look at the 2027 movie release calendar reveals that the delay may actually work in the movie’s favor. Shigeru Miyamoto announced the Zelda movie’s delay himself. Rumors are swirling that Hunter Schafer is being eyed for a Marvel role, but won’t be involved with the Zelda movie.
