More cast details have emerged for next April's Legend of Zelda movie, including the film possibly serving as the final bow for a beloved actor.

A report from Deadline has confirmed that Sam Neill (1947 - 2026) will have a role in the film in what may be one of his final released works following his passing on July 13. Neill, who is perhaps best known for playing Dr. Alan Grant in the Jurassic Park franchise, did not have his role in the film revealed.

Other cast details revealed today include:

• Uli Latukefu (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in flashback scenes of the NBC drama Young Rock) has reportedly signed a multi-picture detail to portray Ganondorf
• Yvonne Strahovski (voiced Miranda Lawson in the Mass Effect franchise, Serena Waterford in The Handmaid's Tale) has been tabbed to play Impa
• Dichen Lachman (Ms. Casey in Severance) will portray a queen (which one was not specified)
