Antonio Banderas thinks Tom Holland would make a perfect Zorro

Los Angeles: Hollywood star Antonio Banderas would love to have Tom Holland replace him as Zorro.

The 62-year-old star portrayed the masked vigilante in the 1998 movie ‘The Mask of Zorro’ and the 2005 sequel ‘The Legend of Zorro’, and believed that his ‘Uncharted’ co-star Holland would be the ideal actor to take his place as the character.

“I did ‘Uncharted’ with him, and he’s so energetic and fun, and he’s got this spark too. Why not?” Antonio said.

The actor revealed he would consider returning for a third movie to deliver the mask to Holland – just as his predecessor Sir Anthony Hopkins did in ‘The Mask of Zorro’.’

Banderas explained: “Yes, I would. I would consider that possibility. Why not?”

“I think, during today’s interviews, I said something like that to somebody. 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’.”

Meanwhile, Antonio previously revealed that he was approached by legendary director Quentin Tarantino about a “Zorro” and “Django Unchained” crossover film that would have seen him teaming up with Jamie Foxx.

The Spanish actor said: “He talked to me, I think on the Oscar night (in 2020) when I was nominated for ‘Pain and Glory’. We saw each other at one of those parties. He just came up to me and I was like, ‘In your hands? Yeah, man!’ Because Quentin just had that nature to do those types of movies and give them quality.”
