Nintendo pushes the Zelda live-action film for production improvements: Aims to get it right, not just fast
It looks like Link is taking the scenic route to the big screen. Fans waiting for the legendary Zelda live-action movie must hold on longer. But here's the twist — this delay might be great news. In a world of rushed game-to-film adaptations, Nintendo's decision to slow down could be the exact move that sets The Legend of Zelda apart. The new release date has shifted, but only slightly This is Miyamoto. 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… Nintendo officially announced that the Zelda movie's release has been postponed from its original slot to May 7, 2027. The update was shared by Shigeru Miyamoto, who stated that the delay was due to "production reasons" and a desire to enhance the final quality. Nintendo wants to do it right — not just fast The announcement signals Nintendo's commitment to getting things right. Zelda is one of the most beloved franchises ever, so the stakes are too high for a rushed adaptation. Here's why the delay could be the best thing for the movie: Protecting the brand – After The Super Mario Bros. Movie smashed box office records, expectations for Zelda are sky-high. Here's what we know about the film so far: Produced by Nintendo and Sony Pictures Tone: Expected to be deeper and more epic than Mario's fun-filled adventure Style: Full live-action, promising cinematic storytelling and high fantasy Delay isn't just for polish—it's a smart strategy The six-week delay may not just be about quality. Fans on X and Reddit also suggest this could be a strategic move to avoid clashes with other big titles like Sonic 4 and Godzilla x Kong. Why this move could pay off? Prime summer debut: May offers a strong slot with reduced competition from Marvel and other blockbusters. Brand protection: As the Super Mario Bros. Movie proved, timing and polish matter when adapting primary gaming IP. With names like Shigeru Miyamoto and Wes Ball leading the project, fans can expect a movie filled with high fantasy, cinematic visuals, and the magic of Hyrule. From Link's heroic quest to the secrets of the Triforce, this delay could mean we're in for something unforgettable. And if that means waiting a bit longer for a film that feels like Zelda — it might just be worth it. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral follow Indiatimes Trending.

22 years after the release of Bruce Almighty, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now officially Jim Carrey's highest-grossing movie

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now Jim Carrey's highest-grossing movie of all time, overtaking previous record holder Bruce Almighty. The latest Sonic movie has a current total of $485.7 million at the global box office, while Bruce Almighty made $484.4 million when it was released back in 2003. Carrey plays a dual role in the movie as Dr. Ivo Robotnik (AKA Eggman) and his grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik. Keanu Reeves joins the franchise to voice Shadow the Hedgehog, alongside a voice cast that also includes Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Idris Elba as Knuckles, and Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Tails. Bruce Almighty, meanwhile, saw Carrey play a TV reporter who gets the chance to try being God for a week. Directed by Ace Ventura: Pet Detective helmer Tom Shadyac, the cast also includes Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Aniston, and Steve Carrell. Sonic 4 has been in development since December 2024 and is set for release in March 2027. Robotnik's fate was a little up in the air at the end of the threequel so Carrey's return isn't set in stone for any future movies, but that doesn't mean a potential return isn't on the cards. "We hope that they make a zillion of these and who knows, by Sonic The Hedgehog 8… like with the Fast & Furious franchise, that's demonstrated that nobody really needs to stay dead if you don't want to," screenwriter Josh Miller told GamesRadar+ last year. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now streaming on Paramount Plus in the US and Canada.
