Should be interesting to see how well the essence of Zorro translates to a future time. Zorro was about the style just as much as the ideals. Take the former away and he's not much different than Robin Hood.

[Dr Mordrid]

A major asset would be a Class A villain. I'd love to see Javier Bardem in that role.
