One of Studio Ghibli’s most beloved masterpieces is reborn in a breathtaking live-action adaptation. Zendaya takes on the iconic role of San – Princess Mononoke, a fierce young woman raised by wolves who becomes the voice and protector of the ancient forest. Set in medieval Japan, the story unfolds at the turning point of civilization, where humanity’s hunger for iron and expansion threatens to consume the land, igniting a desperate war between man and nature. As the cursed prince Ashitaka embarks on a journey to seek a cure and uncover the truth behind the conflict, he finds himself torn between the relentless advance of mankind and the wrath of the spirits who dwell in the forest. At the heart of this struggle stands San, a warrior torn between hatred for humanity and the fragile hope for peace. With sweeping visuals, cutting-edge effects, and a powerful performance by Zendaya, Princess Mononoke (2026) emerges as an epic cinematic tale — a haunting clash of love, sacrifice, and destiny where the balance of the natural world hangs by a thread.
