To partner with Gary and Disney to bring Zorro back into the family after 60 years and be a part of the legacy for other children to know they too can be the heroes of their own stories is a dream come true.` Back in 1998, when Banderas played Zorro, he was the first Hispanic actor to play the role in a Hollywood production, and surely it was a huge hit.
