While Banderas is also open to reprise his role as the masked vigilante with Quentin Tarantino, it wouldn’t be bad to pass on the mask to his co-star.
“I would consider that possibility. Why not? I think during today’s interviews, I said something like that to somebody… I said that if they call it Zorro, I will do what Anthony Hopkins did in the first movie and give the torch to somebody else.”
