  "summary": "The upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie will feature Australian actor Uli Latukefu as the villain Ganondorf. According to The Verge, Latukefu has signed a multi-picture deal, which may suggest that more than one Zelda movie is planned.\n\nThe Zelda movie was initially announced in 2023, and aside from the casting of Link and Zelda, and a delay, few details have been released. Polygon notes that it has been three years since the announcement.\n\nThe Verge reports that there are rumors of a potential trilogy, although this has not been confirmed by Nintendo or Sony. The success of recent Super Mario films may have contributed to interest in more Zelda movies.",
