Tom Holland, well known for his role as Marvel‘s Spider-Man, is reportedly desired to play Link in a Netflix Legends of Zelda film.
The release date for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 3 has already been postponed quite a bit. The movie, whose release date was originally set for July 2021, was then moved to November 2021. However, as previously mentioned, the movie will now be released on December 17, 2021, as the producers want to catch the Christmas window.
Holland previously appeared on the big screen as a teenage Nathan Drake in the video game blockbuster Uncharted. Even though it wasn’t a straight game-to-movie remake, this adaption was influenced by the video game Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Uncharted received mixed reviews upon release; it is currently unknown if a sequel will be produced, but Ruben Fleischer, the game’s director, has previously indicated interest. Holland’s star power and the movie’s financial success undoubtedly demonstrated his ability to bring a video game adaptation to the big screen.
A bunch rumours have circulated about Netflix working with Nintendo on The Legend of Zelda. The most recent rumour from the grapevine claims that the producers are eyeing Tom Holland to play the project’s main character, Link, even if the actual structure of the production is yet unknown.
Legend of Zelda fans were thrilled to hear that Netflix would be producing a series based on the venerable Nintendo game. According to Screen Rant, the streaming juggernaut is reportedly contemplating both the series and feature film forms.
Could Zelda really happen, starring Tom Holland as Link?
Netflix has not responded to rumours that it will produce a live-action The Legend of Zelda series that regularly float online. Considering the popularity of game adaptations on the platform, like the animated Castlevania series, a Zelda project might succeed.
The Legend of Zelda is a well-known franchise; therefore, the topic of whether or not there should be a movie adaptation is constantly present. Although both casual and serious gamers adore the games, it would be challenging to narrow down a single story to focus on for a movie or television series because the franchise’s timeline has seen so many reboots and complicated non-linear plots over the years.
Another very good explanation is that the first Super Mario Bros. movie was a total failure, something that both game and movie fans would like to forget. It’s still possible that The Legend of Zelda might be a spectacular live-action project if the appropriate money and creative team are involved. Let’s see if Zelda really could happen or if the rumours vanish in thin air.
