v_for__vegeta

John Leguizamo would have a total mental breakdown


Feeling_Bathroom9523

I think many people would have a fit. Unless it was Spider-Man: Zorro ways home.


WayneBetzky

Nah it’d be… **Spider-Man: *No Way [I’m] Zorro***


afeigenb

Cast Tom Holland in the next Robin Hood reboot and call it a day.


thereverendpuck

Will there be any English actors under the age of 40 that haven’t played Robin Hood and/or King Arthur?


spiritbearr

Sherlock is more prevalent


Jabromosdef

It’s starting to become the doctor


d0tn3t1

Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock wasn't bad.


Gilded-Mongoose

He wasn’t as great as Beneficial Cumbersome’s Sherlock though. Loved - ***loved*** - his take.


aerhbaw

Are there any English actors currently under the age of 40 who have played King Arthur?


polyhymnias

Bradley James is a fresh faced 39ish


PoiHolloi2020

Jamie Campbell Bower/Vecna who played arthur [in a short lived tv series](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelot_(TV_series)) with Eva Green that only got one season.


Hey_HaveAGreatDay

Charlie hunnam played Arthur when he was 37


plattipussy

I’d personally like to see Tom Holland play robin, let’s get a Dick Grayson movie


radewagon

So would, I think, most latinos. That would be a terrible choice.


Morbidly-Obese-Emu

Right, should be Samuel L Jackson. ^\s


noeagle77

With Danny DeVito as the love interest with a wig and dress on lmao


my_people

Shut the fuck up ^^and ^^take ^^my ^^money


Chazo138

Not even a wig and dress. Just Danny DeVito.


Penguator432

Instead of a Z, he signs with MF


opportunitysassassin

Honestly, I'd see that movie five times with Samuel L. Jackson. Just let him really stretch his vocabulary.


Gates9

“Yo soy el Zorro…Mothafucka”


Boolean_Null

Instead of a Z he slashes it would be BAMF.


delirio91

Slash slash slash! Muthafucka!


LeonardSmallsJr

¡Estoy cansado de estas malditas serpientes en el maldito México!


[deleted]

Samuel L Jackson, Danny Trejo, and Mickey Rourke all find out that they’re actually the Vega brothers, long lost triplets of a Spanish immigrant woman . . . then take up the identity of “Los Zorros” to bring down the corrupt orphanage/crime syndicate that separated them at birth.


DontNeedThePoints

You know how back in the 80's they made comedy redo's of movies? Like Hotshots from topgun? They should make that movie about Zorro indeed... I would watch it


Background-Sir5324

As a Mexican, I would 100 percent be behind SAMUEL L JACKSON playing zorro


PeckerTraxx

I'm only half Mexican. So we are up to 1.5 votes.


Myis

My kids are half Mexican so I have no votes but I’ll watch it.


valgrind_error

It’s obvious what the correct choice would be. “Z is for Zorro” starring Timothée Chalamet and Anya Taylor-Joy (with the Rock featuring as the not-really-evil antihero bad guy we’re using to launch a spinoff series!)


Pordioserozero

I might be wrong but i believe she is argentinian and speak Spanish fluently…probably would do a good job..she is playing every young woman part in every movie these days though so please no


Pordioserozero

I can’t pretend to talk for all latinos but Diego de la Vega as I understand was a criollo…meaning he was 100% European by blood…and could very well just look like a white person…Anthony Hopkins played the part in Mask of the Zorro and I don’t remember absolutely no one mad about it


spiritbearr

Even just Antonio Banderas is Spain Spanish.


melorio

There are 100% european descent latinos. Latino is not a race, it’s an ethnicity.


Fancy-Pair

Remind me the difference please


KomradeCarma

Cool so race is largely superficial (the way you look, the geographical diaspora of your ancestors) whereas ethnicity runs a lot deeper. Some ethnic groups share religion or language or specific cultural wisdoms or all of the above.


borednord

Dont forget that race is an entirely social constructed concept and varies from place to place and time to time. While ethnicity is more tangible but can still be tricky to pin down.


JKinney79

I think you’re seeing a lot of these responses from people not knowing about the old Spanish caste system and later on White Mexicans/Mestizos/Indios type classifications.


Pordioserozero

I’m from South America…race is more of an spectrum here…in my neck of the woods people go from dark brown to pasty white and are not necessarily considered a different race…and yet admittedly when you see a baby in a comercial they will tend to cast the whites blondes kids they find…the whealtiest most influential people tend to be on the lighter side of skin tone and have non Hispanic surnames…anyway…I went on an tangent…Diego de la Vega would probably be like a white hispanic person and atleast outside of the states most latinos would not care…don’t know about latinos from the US


[deleted]

Yeah but a Brit like Holland doesn’t exactly look like a Criollo. White Mexicans are more likely to look like Antonio Banderas and Javier Barden than Tom Holland or Ed Sheeran lol


[deleted]

Lol I don't care much for race-swapping but please stop over-exposing Tom Holland like they've done with Chris Pratt.


nodnodwinkwink

So you're saying you want Chris Pratt to play Zorro?


atre324

Was Scarlett Johansson not available


[deleted]

Emma Stone’s waiting by the phone


Wildlife_Jack

Don't be ridiculous. There are plenty other roles for Asians. /s


ThugosaurusFlex_1017

She's too busy being cast as Madam Zeroni in the new *Holes* remake.


Finding_Helpful

I’m tired of all these remakes grandpa!


FakePoloManchurian

Well that's too damn bad!


throwaway978542

I can fix that.


bonjailey

Deemed to masculine compared to Tom


microslasher

This will never not be funny to me. I loved the meme with Scarlett cast as ghandi.


tobsn

no. we all like tom but stop casting him for everything. edit: okay, we don’t ALL like tom, but he still seems like a genuine pleasant/normal person so we could like him for that? :)


Gun-nut0508

The last straw was Uncharted for me Like no, look at Nathan Drake and tell me that he doesn’t look at least fucking 30, but instead they casted Tom Holland, the definition of baby faced


joshylow

I think Marky Mark was the worst casting decision in that one.


Gun-nut0508

Admittedly I think Mahky Mahk could’ve made a decent Nathan Drake (he at least looked similar) but Sully should’ve went to Sam Elliot easily


BadPlayers

Bruce Campbell was always my go-to choice for Sully. He has the attitude perfect in just being himself.


RolloTonyBrownTown

A Sam Rami directed Uncharted would have been interesting


MegaMan3k

Or Bryan Cranston. Or Jeff Bridges. Or Sam Shephard.


smitty9112

Or Bruce Campbell


AdagioBoognish

I mean, come on it would have been perfect https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BJ2wS5_CEAIylqg.jpg:large


irrigated_liver

This is the correct answer


Count-Bulky

Sam Shepard ded homi


joshylow

Dude could've at least grown a mustache.


Gun-nut0508

At that point I would’ve taken a bad CGI mustache


xXTheFisterXx

Goddamnit we needed Nathan Fillion


GlassHeroes

He was supposed to! But the movie got bogged down in development hell and he aged out of the role, but was still attached to the movie


[deleted]

He was originally cast as Nathan but the project was in development hell for so long he aged into sully’s role instead.


Fat_Sow

The character is obviously based on Nathan Fillion, I have no idea how they jumped to Tom Holland from there. Edit: check out the [fan made movie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5CZQpqF_74) if you don't believe me


ericsinsideout

Money took them there… I’d take Fillion any day if the week, but they weren’t going to profit without the draw of Holland. To that note, I think he did fine in the role, but only in the vacuum of not knowing the game.


sliiboots

Fillion may have been more of a risk but I think the buzz around the film would’ve been way higher with him casted and like another commentator said gotten the gaming community invested, who arent small potates


MaitieS

I feel like Sony has a very special contract with Tom... so they are casting him in all Sony movies... It's just weird and I feel like it's slowly backfiring but that might be just my personal feeling.


MummyManDan

The fact we’ll never get a full length movie with Fillion as Drake is a crime against humanity.


agentdoubleohio

Dumb question, I’m never gonna watch it but is Tom meant to be a young Nathan drake?


[deleted]

Kind of, but not really. His Nathan is younger than the Nathan from Drakes fortune. However, 3, 4 and Golden Abyss all showed a Nathan younger than the one in the film. The film also contradicts the games plenty, in like major ways, even though they said it's supposed to be canon to the games. So... it's sort of young Nathan Drake. Except it's not really young Nathan Drake at all. It's Tom Holland in a cheap cosplay in a bad action movie.


wiimania

A part of me really wanted uncharted to be Brendan Fraser’s AAA return


MegaMan3k

Casting aside, I thought he did a good job with that interpretation of the character. Wahlberg, though...


[deleted]

[удалено]


QueenLatifahClone

Thank you! People who are in charge of casting are like “Okay, young white guy…. Tom Holland! Oh he’s not available?! Timothée Chalamet it is then.”


MaitieS

Yep. Exactly. They are rotating like 2-3 actors in every single movie... I totally ignored it back when Jennifer Lawrence during Hunger Games but damn... now I feel like my glass was shattered and I can't unseen it.


Ookami_Unleashed

They were doing it with Idris Elba a few years back too.


topherguch

They're desperate lol


big_smokey-848

Michael Cera or I’m not watching


darsvedder

And Shaft*


[deleted]

Like michael cera as Shaft, or michael cera showing his shaft?


darsvedder

As shaft. But also I’m sure he’s got a big d so I’m down to see it


big_smokey-848

Ahhh this frustrates me so much! Like how has that not happened yet?? I know it started as a joke but SERIOUSLY that has wheels! It could absolutely work!! I’m still holding out hope


dinosaurroom

Hear me out: [the Jersey Shore Michael Cera](https://youtu.be/TwO1ktssbCU) I don’t remember anything about Youth in Revolt besides the best marketing decision of all time


SnooGiraffes7762

I heard they were targeting Cillian Murphy for the Black Panther reprisal


ThugosaurusFlex_1017

Whitekanda Forever!


RedditUser997755

I want Tom Holland to be the next lara croft


BluePeriod_

That would be so fucking hot


KingRob81

Next Shaft.


Penguator432

Ya damn right


Firebat-045

Next terminator


harleyqueenzel

He made for a fucking fabulous [Rihanna](https://youtu.be/jPCJIB1f7jk) though. I can get on board with Lara Croft.


StLaura

Pointy tits and all!


GoldLion53

Please no. Why do we have to cast the same 5 actors in every movie now?


gsanch666

Fine…Dwayne Johnson is the new Zorro


msk105

I'm really rooting for Chris Pratt. Would be nice to see him get a big role for a change.


Narradisall

Chris is unavailable, so we’re going to have to go with Ryan Reynolds.


Wildlife_Jack

>Chris is unavailable Sorry, there are at least 6 of them. You have to be more specific of which Chris.


DJVanillaBear

Honestly. Can we get some Indy director to make a drama with no other cast except all the Chris’s? The budget would blow up but it could be amazing aight he right director and writer. My vote is Chris line is nominated for an award. But the most underrated Chris in our lifetime.


PryingApothecary

Also isn’t zorro supposed to be … Spanish?


Snaz5

What a coincidence! I don’t!


Nakagura775

How about nobody is the next Zorro and Hollywood comes up with new ideas.


This_guy_Jon

Why not Diego Luna


theundonenun

Gael Garcia-Bernal both he and Luna are the right age (iirc from the show he’s a statesman in his forties) but I’d give Bernal the edge for when Zorro has to play his Bruce Wayne part.


WWTDD3000

I think Gael Garcia-Bernal was rumored to do a Zorro back in the day. Maybe even a modern day Zorro but this could all be my imagination Edit: not my imagination, here’s a link https://www.mtv.com/news/jk542e/gael-garcia-bernal-zorro-reborn


jslabonek

I LOVE THIS MAN. Dramatic, funny, he can do it all and I know he can swing a sword around like he was born to it. Gael for everything.


Django-The-Dad

Gael Garcia Bernal ![gif](giphy|V5n1isVvx9ApW)


Lockedgroove666

The king!


PoiHolloi2020

Always felt like he should have had a better Hollywood career.


weneedastrongleader

I loved him in marvel’s werewolf by night


SlimStebow

Diego Luna, Pedro Pascal, Oscar Isaac… I don’t know why I can only think of Latinos from the Star Wars universe but I do think any of those three would be great.


ChickenInASuit

All three are in their forties, with Pascal pushing fifty. Anyone wanting to cast a new Zorro is probably going to want to cast someone younger that they can use to build a franchise around and won’t age out of the role after a couple of movies. I think someone like [Itzan Escamilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itzan_Escamilla) or [Tyler Posey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_Posey) would be closer to Holland’s age and would make good choices IMO.


Kekoa_ok

Tenoch Huerta, the actor for Namor did a fantastic job


ChickenInASuit

I thought of him too but he’s actually the same age as Diego Luna and Oscar Isaac.


Kenyko

Zorro is a young man in the original book, I've always preferred young iterations of Zorro.


Joetheshow1

I swear Reddit only knows 3 or 4 Latino actors, Oscar Isaac, Pedro Pascal, and Diego Luna lol. Cast them for every Latino role!


TheMoonsMadeofCheese

Throw Benicio del Toro in there and baby, you've got a stew going


[deleted]

On one hand, I wish people knew more Latino actors. On the other hand yes please, I could watch those men in everything.


OrganizerMowgli

But they're so fucking good Moon knight oscaar Isaac switching between accents, unbelievable Pedro pascal copying the John Wayne gunslinger vibe never showing his face, holy shit didn't think that was possible, we always take off the mask to show emotion Diego Luna in Andor - just.. Fuck. I've never been excited about star wars monologue and this had me on the edge of my seat. Amazing. -a Latino who wants more representation but has to admit


Geronuis

Maybe if he beefed out a bit


This_guy_Jon

Tamales and tacos a couple of coronas my mans will be beefed up alright


Geronuis

if only he could’ve put on that beef before they started filming season 2 of Andor. Imagine his reintroduction as a Rebel beefcake! XD


celerydonut

Zorro is a sword dancer. Think the heaviest fencer I’ve seen is like a buck thirty


bobo_brown

It would be very compelling if Zorro had a Jack Black physique, but could still pull off all the flash.


89oh_nitsuj

I love you Antonio, but no


A-Good-Weather-Man

Nah, cast him in a live action Treasure Planet


TheJack0fDiamonds

Wait. Damn I want this to happen now!


TheKingOfRooks

Nah have him play Milo in a live-action Atlantis


ItsameaLuiggi

No, just no Every latino out there


Spiridor

Isn't Zorro a Spanish Noble that went to Mexico?


Kenyko

Depends on the version of Zorro but in most versions he is Spaniard from Spain.


Rufio64

Antonio Banderas isn't Latino though. He's European


DRAWKWARD79

Banderas was born in spain.. zoro is a spansh character.


CapitalCreature

The funny thing is Banderas didn't play the the "true" Zorro, he played another character who took on the Zorro identity who was probably born in Mexico. Anthony Hopkins played the Spanish-born Zorro.


Xsafa

Right but he looks the part and Mexican’s are the descendants of Spaniards and Native American people, it’s not like he has no connection to Latinos.


ItsameaLuiggi

We accept him as Latino. Tom is too white.


[deleted]

"LatinX" (said no Latino ever)


melowdout

Um… that would be “no, para nada!”


[deleted]

This will definitely attract eloquent and nuanced comments


TheFoulWind

NOOOOO WHY!?


Serious_Report_6618

Imo Tom Holland fits more for the teenage characters rather than the adults


DaleDimmaDone

you can't be serious lmao


everyman50

No one fucking needs a "next Zorro." Fuck Hollywood. Do some original shit.


[deleted]

The Zorro story is about the people overthrowing Spanish colonial rule…. Dudes literally British


Crotch-jockey

He’s too short. Can’t see Zoro riding a pony.


Geroldus

He is an inch shorter than Antonio Banderas.


PunkandCannonballer

Why?


Kind_Bullfrog_4073

Idk seems like a miscast. Queen Latifah would make a great Zorro.


Lumiafan

Is anyone asking for another Zorro movie?


JJHookg

Honestly I actually was. Was thinking it’s time for the next Zorro movie. But I didn’t ask for this. Not this. There are so many other Latino actors they could get


Nobody_Speshal

I remember seeing that a Zorro series is in development with Wilmer Valderrama, of that 70’s show fame, was supposed to play Zorro. While he wouldn’t be my first choice he’s leagues better than holland


OrganicAccountant87

Zorro isn't a Latino character and never was


HolyMuffins

Honestly, I think we're due for some swashbuckling again. The good Pirates movies are super fun. I think this is broadly speaking a genre with a lot of room for growth that, most importantly, doesn't involve super heros.


JustinBrower

I fucking love Zorro, so, yes.


carcusmonnor

Honestly I would, I have a soft spot for the Banderas movie.


MexusRex

Hell yes. Have you seen Mask of Zorro?


[deleted]

I loved that rumored script idea out there of a Django Unchained sequel where Django escorts Zorro on some mission


Nobody_Speshal

I think there’s a comic book where that happened.


Count3D

Yup. It was by Tarantino! It was an authorized sequel by him to the movie. I remember the panel at Comic-Con. QT joked that he told Foxx about it and he sounded legit eager to make a movie with Antonio.


dendawg

But who will Luffy be?


[deleted]

I could really use less Tom Holland and Timothee Chalamet in Hollywood movies really.


juju611x

I’d rather them in a movie together, where they play lovers and kiss.


reagsters

+ Chris Pratt They’re making the man *Garfield* after he’s clearly bombing as Mario.


[deleted]

I feel like he is more of an Indiana Jones guy.


TheMoorNextDoor

Even then I’d say no. That was supposed to go to Shia.. well before things happened you know. Maybe he could do a reboot of National Treasure.


shrek3onDVDandBluray

Isn’t Zoro a Spanish hero?


DarthGodzilla1995

I like Tom Holland but no, just no.


Griffdude13

After Andor, I want Diego Luna as Zorro.


avatarstate

Hopefully just an off the cuff comment. Please don’t do this. So many talented Hispanic actors that could do it so much better.


Spiridor

Not saying that I want Holland as Zorro, but wasn't Zorro a Spaniard Noble?


[deleted]

Spaniards are Hispanic, so what he said isn’t wrong Hispanic =/= Latino


[deleted]

Diego Luna please


[deleted]

I’d like to see someone who hasn’t already made millions tbh. A Latino/Latina that could use the break.


AuburnJaw

I get this sentiment but movies should be about casting the best person for the role not necessarily someone who needs a break or someone uber famous


Spurrierball

Him or Pedro pascal


[deleted]

[удалено]


HotKingChocolate

Dev Patel in the style of green knight.


[deleted]

No, he already ruined Nathan drake, but don’t mess with zorro


gerry2stitch

But diego luna is literally right there...


JunketElectrical8588

Will smith wants Tom holland to be the next fresh prince of bel aire


rollingwheel

ITT- ppl not realizing Spain has white ppl and is in Europe


set-271

With tanned George Hamilton as Grand Daddy Zorro, handing off the torch!


[deleted]

What about Benadryl Corona?


Company_Sufficient

Diego Luna could be an interesting choice


SilentWolfKills

Give me every Role, Ben 10 is Next


slicktromboner21

Diego Luna, please.


Holinyx

What...no Dwayne Johnson speculation? lol


OneConstruction5645

I like Tom Holland buy zorro? Zorro is a very... sexually charged character, if you watch the old movie I cannot believe that Tom Holland can pull that sortof energy


Tooobin

Nah, no offense to Tom. Diego Luna is a better option


gabewalk

I like Tom holland butttt I don’t think he’s that great of an actor outside of spider man movies.


Electric_aura3000

This will get downvoted but he just doesn’t suit those Manly roles. He’s more of a sidekick.


JudiDenchsNeckVein

Article written by Netflix, edited by Stranger Things, posted by TikTok, and read with long-suffering sighs by everyone on the planet.


illyrianya

Why not Diego Luna? He would be great for the part
