According to a report from Deadline, the upcoming live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda has found its villain. Australian actor Uli Latukefu will portray Ganondorf, the iconic antagonist of the beloved video game series. The report also mentions that Latukefu has signed on for multiple films, fueling speculation that Nintendo and Sony Pictures are planning a trilogy or even a broader cinematic universe.
While neither Nintendo nor Sony has officially confirmed additional installments, the move is hardly surprising. The massive box office success of recent Super Mario movies has demonstrated the potential of video game adaptations, and Zelda's rich lore offers ample material for a multi-film narrative.
Nintendo first announced the live-action Zelda project in collaboration with Sony Pictures, and casting news like this suggests that the companies are thinking long-term. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details about the film, including its release date and additional cast members.
