I have heard (not sure if it’s true) that Antonio Banderas doean’t want to play Zorro again in the next movie. Whether or not this is true, it got me thinking, who should play Zorro? I think (although he is not spanish) that Goran Visnjic (Luka from ER) would make a GREAT Zorro. Plus he is really, really hot. Who do you think? ---

Michael J. **Fox**? 😃 I think a good one would be Joaquim de Almeida. ---

Mandy Patinkin. “Hallo. My Name is Zorro. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” Or, as a variation on that theme, Cary Elwes, with his hair dyed black. ---

They’re both a little old for the part, but both can do dashing and both know how to fence. Kevin Klein and Pierce Brosnon. I hated Banderas in the part. The style just wasn’t there. ---

I really liked Antonio Banderas as Zorro and I think Goran Visjnic(sp??)would make a great follow-up as his replacement,should he not want to do a sequel. ---

Love the handle,fizgig.😃 I don’t think Johnny Depp would be up to it,seriously.Besides,from what I hear,Disney’s got him linked up in production for another film right now anyways based on the everpopular “Pirates of the Carribbean” ride at WDW/DL. IDBB ---
