Sam Neill, who died on July 13 at age 78, completed filming a role in Sony and Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda before his passing, Deadline reported Thursday. His specific character has not been confirmed, though fans widely believe he plays King Rhoam, Princess Zelda's father. The film wrapped production in April 2026, three months before Neill died, making the Zelda movie one of his final completed screen performances. Handmaid's Tale actress Yvonne Strahovski is playing a queen character, possibly Queen Hyrule, a figure never explicitly depicted in the games. They join previously announced leads Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda.
