Antonio Banderas reveals he wants a new Zorro movie starring Tom Holland, who wants to pass the action hero torch to his Uncharted co-star.
With three television adaptations still in development for the character, Antonio Banderas shares his idea for a new one fox film co-starring Tom Holland. Originally created by pulp magazine writer Johnston McCulley, Zorro is a masked vigilante known for helping to defend the people of his hometown, the Village of Los Angeles, from a variety of greedy businessmen and corrupt political leaders. Although portrayed by a variety of people on both the big and small screens, Zorro’s portrayal of Banderas on both The mask of Zorro i The Legend of Zorro it remains one of his most iconic roles and incarnations, and some wonder who might take up the mantle after him.
In a recent interview with ComicBook.com to talk about the next one Puss in Boots: The Last WishAntonio Banderas was asked his thoughts on his return for a new one fox movie The actor not only confirmed his interest in taking part in another installment, but also expressed his interest in casting a new actor in the role, naming Tom Holland as his ideal successor. Watch what Banderas shared below:
Yes, I would. I would consider that possibility. Why not? I think during the interviews today I said something like that to someone… I said if they call him Zorro, I’m going to do what Anthony Hopkins did in the first movie and pass the torch to someone else. Tom Holland. I did Uncharted with him, he’s really energetic and fun, and he’s got that spark too. Why not?
Could Holland work as the next Zorro?
Considering that Banderas has experience working with Holland unexplored movie, and his own past in the franchise, he has a pretty informed perspective on who he thinks could take over the mantle of Zorro in the future. With Holland having shown his physical skills with both spider man spider man trilogy and adaptation of Naughty Dog’s action video games, would perfectly suit the physicality required of the sword-wielding vigilante. In addition, with the actor already positioned as a household name, his attachment to a new one fox The film could help build some anticipation among audiences to convince Sony, the studio behind the Banderas films, to produce this project.
The biggest concern some audiences may have about the possibility of a new fox The film with Banderas passing the torch to Holland is the importance of the character’s ethnicity. The hero’s secret identity is that of Don Diego de la Vega, and although Anthony Hopkins portrayed de la Vega in The mask of Zorro, Banderas’ Alejandro Murrieta wearing the mantle proved to be a very positive step forward in Latino representation on screen, offering an authentic portrayal of Zorro that younger audiences could look up to. Although it could be explained in a new one fox film in which Holland’s successor is a white character to whom Alejandro passes the torch, the concern then becomes turning the story into that of a white savior, a route that has been downplayed similar to cinema in recent years.
Although Antonio Banderas’ idea for a new one fox The film starring Tom Holland does not come to fruition, it is not the end of the character’s future on screen. Wilmer Valderrama is currently working with Disney+ to develop a reimagining of the property through a “modern telenovela“, while The CW acquired the rights to a modern Zorro series focusing on a female incarnation of the hero from executive producers Robert Rodriguez and Sofia Vergara, and Prime Video is also preparing a 10-episode modern series with theft of money director Javier Quintas and Miguel Ángel Vivas at the helm. In the meantime, the public can revisit Banderas fox movies streaming on netflix now.
