Journalist Kyle Buchanan says Australian actor Uli Latukefu may be the one playing Ganondorf in Nintendo's live-action The Legend of Zelda movie. The casting remains unconfirmed, and neither Nintendo nor Sony Pictures has announced it.
Buchanan said he heard the information from sources and described Latukefu as best known for Young Rock. He also noted that Latukefu previously played a younger version of Dwayne Johnson in the series.

Nintendo has officially announced only two cast members so far: Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda. The movie is still months away, its plot remains under wraps, and no other actors have been revealed beyond the two leads.
The live-action The Legend of Zelda movie is currently scheduled to release on April 30, 2027. It is directed by Wes Ball and produced by Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad.
As a side note, a new rumor regarding the release date of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake recently surfaced.
With Ganondorf still unconfirmed, do you think this rumor will prove accurate before the movie's 2027 release?
