It’s always complicated when a beloved franchise, series, or character gets a reboot, remake, or re-imagining. On the one hand, it’s an opportunity for new life to be breathed into a classic and to introduce new audiences to the original, but on the other, doesn’t it kind of feel like we’ve had enough remakes, reboots, and redos?
There’s one more coming for the beloved character of Zorro, but this time with a twist.
Zorro has been a beloved character in cinema for a century.
From the 1920 silent film to Antonio Banderas’ beloved ’90s take, Zorro the masked vigilante has been capturing the hearts and minds of movie-goers for years.
The hat, the mask, and the signature “Z” mark left behind from his excellent sword-work are iconic!
