Antonio Banderas wants to pass the mask in Zorro 3

The actor also revealed that director Quentin Tarantino entertained the idea of a Zorro / Django crossover film.

"He talked to me, I think on the Oscar night [in 2020] when I was nominated for Pain and Glory," Banderas said. "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 has that nature to do those type of movies and give them quality. Even if they are based on those types of B-movies of the '60s and '70s, he can take that material and do something really interesting. We've never worked together, but it would be great because of him, because of Jamie Foxx, and because of [playing] Zorro again when he's a little bit older. It would be fantastic and funny and crazy."

Banderas has previously said that he would be happy to pass the role of Zorro to Tom Holland, an actor he liked after the two of them worked on last year's Uncharted live-action adaptation. However, the statement was met with controversy as critics pointed out that would race-bend an explicitly Latino character.

Even though Banderas turned 63 in a few weeks, recent movies like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 have shown that Hollywood actors can still perform action movies well into their 60s and beyond.

But, if Banderos does come back as Zorro, we're hoping that his return does more like the latter than the former. Because, while Tom Cruise is enjoying one of his best box office outings to date, you can't exactly say the same for Harrison Ford.
