I'm a fan of Valderrama, not of Zorro, but I'll give it a chance because of Handy Manny.

Wilmer Valderrama? Ok lol. I'm not even sure who that is even after looking at his IMDB page.

Well, unlike Guy Williams (from Italian origin) we'll have a "closer" actor to play Zorro (Colombian/Venezuelan) actor

Well it depends on how long this series has been in development. If they had some thoughts about relaunching Zorro a couple years ago (even without the current story line developed yet), they would hold off putting it on the platform so they could use premiering the original series as part of the promotion of the new one. Plus I get the feeling that there's like one team working on cleaning up/formatting the older Disney stuff, it just might be further down on the list. Good thing they aren't going alphabetically.

Italian wouldn't be that far off since, from what I've read, the character was originally supposed to have been a Spaniard, or at least of Spanish descent but born in CA. He was not supposed to have been Hispanic, which fits the period since the gentry of the time, in that part of CA, would have been mostly Spanish. So while Italian isn't quite Spanish, it is European, which Spanish is too, so it kind of fits, even if Italy is a bit separated from Spain.Well, unlike Guy Williams (from Italian origin) we'll have a "closer" actor to play Zorro (Colombian/Venezuelan) actor

Point of order, people from Spain are Hispanic (they speak Spanish). You are thinking of Latino. And if he was born in California to Spanish parents you could legitimately say he's Latino as well. Of course the term Hispanic didn't exist yet, and Latino didn't either.

I though it was...What about Zorro, The Gay Blade? or is that not ok these days?
One bit, two bits, six bits a dollar, all for Zorro, stand up and hollar!
"One bit, two bits, 6 bits a peso... all for Zorro, stand up and say so!"

Awesome! I’m a big Zorro fan. It’s about time for another live action adaptation. I’m partial to the New World Zorro series personally, but really wish Disney+ would put the full Guy Williams series one.
