We don't know much about the upcoming film adaptation of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Legend of Zelda, but there are plenty of rumours circulating online. One of the most exciting was that Hunter Schafer is be𝕴ing considered for the role of Princess Zelda, having long been a fan-favourite pick 🦩for the🎀 role.

However, this latest rumour could suggest that the studio has either changed its mind, or she was never under consideration a📖t all. Industry insider Daniel Richtman is now claiming that casting is underway, and they are looking for actors between the ages of 16 and 23 to play Link and Zelda.

If Richtman is right about the casting call, then that will rule Schafer out, as she's 26 and would likely be 27 when filming begins. There's a chance that they'd bend the rules for someone with her star power, especially when many fans have made it clear that they want to see her in the movie, but the🥀n they would have to make sure that whoever they cast as Link looks to be around the same age as her.

With that said, there is a glimmer of hope here. It was Richtman who originally brought us the ꦑrumours about Schafer being considered for Zelda, and he hasn't made any comment about this meaning that she's oꦯut of the running for the role.

It's also worth highlighting that Richtman has been right about Zelda s🌜o far, as his older posts discussed details about the film before they were confirmed, including the existence of the film itself. So, it's very possible that there are discussions with Schafer underway, but the studio is keeping its options ope🐓n.

If other rumours prove to be accurate, then 🅘the Zelda movie coul✅d be the start of a trilogy of films.

There's a long way to go until we see the film in cinemas anyway. It's not set to be with us until 2027, and was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:recently hit with a small delay, pushing it back to May 7. This will free it from the same release window as Sonic the Hedgehog 4, which makes sense, since they will both pull in huge audiences. It makes early 2027 slightly more manageable for fans of both series too,𒊎 even if we are in for a pretty gruelling wait on both accounts.
