Regisseur Martin Campbell heeft tegenover de Calgary Sun verklaard dat alles goed loopt met de opvolger van 'The Mask of Zorro.'

[eng]"We're in the final stages of negotiations with Antonio and Catherine Zeta-Jones. If they are both available and everything goes as planned, we could begin shooting in Mexico in April or May for a 2005 release."

"We've rejected several scripts over the past four years, but have a great one now, which is why the project has been green-lit."

"it's a great role for Catherine. Her character will definitely be on a par with Antonio's this time." And it's "much more than your typical sequel. It's a full-out new film that uses the same two central characters."[/eng]
