Andy Behbakht has worked as an entertainment journalist since 2010, covering all the latest in Hollywood on both the big and small screens, from staying on top of the biggest breaking news, analyzing movies and television shows in Hollywood, to in-depth interviews with actors and storytellers.

Andy's career includes having worked for publications such as FanSided, KSiteTV, TV Fanatic, It's Just Movies, Heroic Hollywood, TV Overmind, and more. Outside of his career as an established reporter, Andy is the host and producer of The Showrunner Whisperer, The Flash Podcast, the editor-in-chief of Multiverse of Color, and the network director of DC TV Podcasts.

The Legend of Zelda live-action adaptation finally gets a closer look in a major new update.

Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will star as Link, while Bo Bragason has been tapped to portray Princess Zelda, as the actors were first spotted back in November 2025 through set photos and videos, confirming that filming has kicked off. Not long after, Nintendo and Sony unveiled official looks at the actors in their costumes.

While details of the adaptation are being kept heavily under wraps, one character who is seemingly making their way into the 2027 entry is Impa, as an actor, who many believe to be Dichen Lachman - although that has yet to be confirmed or denied by Sony - was seen shooting with Bragason's Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda will be released in theaters on May 7, 2027.
