Multiple reports making the rounds online say Nintendo’s live-action The Legend of Zelda movie, being made with Sony Pictures, may have found its Ganondorf in Uli Latukefu. If that turns out to be true, it would round out the movie’s central Link-Zelda-villain trio.
For now, though, this still sits in rumor territory. Nintendo and Sony Pictures haven’t officially said Latukefu is involved. If the reports hold up, he’d join Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda.
Wes Ball is directing the Nintendo-Sony production, and the theatrical release is set for April 30, 2027. Reports also say filming ran from November 2025 through April 2026, which would put the movie in post-production now, about where you’d expect for a fantasy film that’s likely to lean heavily on visual effects.
If you keep up with Zelda movie news, this is one to watch. Latukefu is best known for Young Rock, and he’s also shown up in Black Adam and Alien: Covenant. The reported casting lines up with what looks like the movie’s preference for younger or less A-list leads, and it’s also fed the still-unconfirmed online chatter about a multi-picture deal.
The reaction online has been mostly positive so far. Fans have pointed to Latukefu’s physical presence as a strong fit for Ganondorf. Still, if you want something official, you’ll need to wait for Nintendo or Sony to confirm it before the film hits theaters.
