'I would give the torch': Antonio Banderas wants Tom Holland to play ‘Zorro’ in case of a franchise reboot
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Antonio Banderas made the 'The Mask of Zorro' a hit but he recently revealed whom he thought would be perfect for a Zorro reboot. Banderas starred as the titular character of the 1998 film and received accolades for his performance. The film features the original Zorro, Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins), escaping from prison to find his long-lost daughter (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and avenge the death of his wife at the hands of the corrupt governor Rafael Montero (Stuart Wilson). He is aided by his successor (Banderas), who is pursuing his own vendetta against the governor's right-hand man while falling in love with de la Vega's daughter.
In a recent interview for 'Puss in Boots: The Last Wish', he said that the 'Uncharted' star Tom Holland would be a perfect fit for the said role. Banderas had a supporting role in the film alongside Mark Wahlberg.
