Step aside, superheroes, because video game movies are the next big trend in Hollywood. They've already proven their worth with massive money-makers such as A Minecraft movie and all the Sonic the Hedgehog outings. And now, with news of The Legend of Zelda movie casting its titular princess, no one can deny that Tinseltown is going all in on the market.
In fact, The Legend of Zelda is just a drop in a large ocean of upcoming video game movies for us to look forward to, with more flicks and shows getting the green light since 2025 kicked off. We have Mortal Kombat 2 releasing in a few months, Street Fighter hitting the big screen next year, and even confirmation of an A24 Elden Ring movie in the works. There's a lot to be excited about, but what truly captivates me is the potential for this video game investment in Hollywood.
