You'll have to wait a little longer for The Legend of Zelda movie. Nintendo
said on Monday that the film's new release date is May 7, 2027. That's six
weeks later than the slot it announced earlier this year. The company
attributed the rescheduling to production delays.

"This is Miyamoto," Nintendo's announcement post began. "For production
reasons, we are changing the release date of the live-action film of The
Legend of Zelda to May 7, 2027. It will be some weeks later than the release
timing we originally announced, and we will take the extra time to make the
film as good as it can be. Thank you for your patience."

Director Wes Ball in 2024Reddit

We don't know much about the movie yet. Its director (Wes Ball) and
screenwriter (T.S. Nowlin) are both known for The Maze Runner trilogy. Ball
also worked on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the fourth installment in
the modern reboots.

In 2023, Ball suggested that the film could have an anime influence. He
described it as "this awesome fantasy-adventure movie that isnΓÇÖt like Lord
of the Rings, itΓÇÖs its own thing. I've always said, I would love to see a
live-action Miyazaki. That wonder and whimsy that he brings to things, I
would love to see something like that."
