There’s been growing speculation that Antonio Banderas may once again don the mask of the legendary Zorro in a new film reportedly titled The Mask of Zorro: Legacy. While nothing has been officially announced, sources suggest that discussions are taking place about reviving the swashbuckling franchise that helped define Banderas’ career.

Rumors indicate that this new film would serve as both a continuation and a passing of the torch, with Banderas reprising his role as Alejandro Murrieta, the man who became Zorro under the mentorship of Don Diego de la Vega (played by Anthony Hopkins in the original 1998 film). The plot is said to revolve around Alejandro being forced out of retirement to train a new Zorro, possibly his own son, to continue the fight for justice in California.

Fans are also wondering if Catherine Zeta-Jones, who played Elena Montero in The Mask of Zorro and The Legend of Zorro (2005), will return. Given her character’s crucial role in the story, insiders suggest she may make a brief appearance to further tie the legacy together. However, no official casting details have emerged.
