The Legend of Zelda Movie has found its Ganondorf and Impa — and the new Nintendo film will also include a poignant final big-screen role for the late Sam Neill
An unlikely actor is reportedly set to play Ganondorf in Nintendo and Sony's live-action Zelda movie.
The Legend of Zelda Movie has reportedly secured its key roles with actors Uli Latukefu and Dichen Lachmann set to portray Ganondorf and Impa respectively. Additionally, the film will include a poignant final appearance for the late Sam Neill. Latukefu, an Australian actor, will take on the role of the franchise's primary antagonist, based on his recent signing of a multi-picture deal.
This suggests he may reprise his role as Ganondorf in a sequel if the film is successful. Lachmann, known for her work in Severance, will play Zelda's bodyguard Impa. Other notable actors potentially involved include Yvonna Strahovski, rumored to portray an unnamed queen, and Sam Neill, whose character remains unclear but could potentially be King Rauru or another significant figure from the game series. The film is expected to be released in theaters worldwide on April 30, 2027.
