The Zelda movie was singled out in Netflix&#8217;s announcement as some of the first SPE movies that will come to Netflix. Others include The Nightingale, Buds, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-verse, and the new Beatles movies from director Sam Mendes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/01\/netflix-sony-pictures-deal-pay-1-1236684173\/#ftag=YHF6738a5f\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Deadline reported;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Deadline reported<\/a> that Sony also considered making a deal with Amazon, but &#8220;Netflix stepped up.&#8221; The report said the value of the deal is $7 billion, but neither Netflix nor Sony confirmed this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Zelda movie features Bo Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link.
