Recently, Netflix’s ‘One Piece’ live-action film received a great response from the audience. The celluloid adaptation of ‘Five Nights At Freddy’ has broken box-office records. Now, Nintendo has decided to adapt ‘The Legend of Zelda’ on screen, and fans want Tom Holland in it.
Nintendo had a great 2023 with its ‘Super Mario’ adaptation into an animated film, becoming the second-biggest animated film of all time. Now, it has been announced that they will soon start work on one of the most-loved games, ‘The Legend of Zelda’, to be adapted for a live-action drama. They are collaborating with Sony Pictures, which will serve as producers on the film. As the production house is on board, some fans are speculating that the ‘Spiderman: No Way Home’ actor will be cast in the film.
