Antonio Banderas Reveals Who He Would Want to Take His Place as Zorro - Hollywood Reporter

In the event of a Zorro reboot, Antonio Banderas knows exactly who he would want to take on the role: Tom Holland.

In a recent interview promoting Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Banderas said without hesitation that he would want to hand the title over to Holland if there were to be a remake.

“I did Uncharted with him, and he’s so energetic and fun, and he’s got this spark, too,” Banderas told ComicBook.

Banderas explained that he would want to return to the franchise in a new film in order to pass the mask down to Holland, the same way that Anthony Hopkins did for him in 1998’s The Mask of Zorro

I said, ‘Well if they called me to do Zorro, I would do what Anthony Hopkins did in the first [for] me, [which is] give the torch to somebody else.'”

Banderas told ComicBook he spoke to Quentin Tarantino about a potential crossover between Zorro and Django, Jamie Foxx’s character in Tarantino’s Django Unchained
