The Legend of Zelda movie, which is about to reach in theaters on May 7, 2027, might be exclusive to Netflix following its theatrical run and residential entertainment windows. The news comes from a press release, where Netflix and Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) announced a world Pay-1 licensing deal through which SPE’s feature movies will stream on Netflix worldwide once they’re out of theaters. It’s a multi-year agreement, and an industry-first for Pay-1.
The arrangement is rolling out progressively starting later this 12 months, based on individual territory rights. Full global availability on Netflix is anticipated by early 2029, and as a part of the deal, Netflix will even license rights to pick SPE feature film and tv library titles.
Really, crucial little bit of all this for gamers is that Nintendo’s live-action The Legend of Zelda is specifically called out as one in all the SPE feature film titles that can stream on Netflix as a part of the brand new deal. It’s not too big of a surprise, though, since The Super Mario Bros. Movie was also available on Netflix after its theatrical run.
The Legend of Zelda movie stars Bo Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link. Filming is currently underway in Recent Zealand with Wes Ball directing and Derek Connolly writing the screenplay. Before we get to enjoy that, though, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hits theaters on April 3, 2026.
