OK, full disclosure here, I loved 2012’s Django Unchained but I was not aware that Quentin Tarantino and John Wagner had penned a comic sequel.
Nor was I aware that said sequel starred Django – played in the movie by Jamie Foxx – and the legendary Zorro.
So imagine my excitement that there’s a movie in the works!
Yes, Tarantino has tapped comedian Jerrod Carmichael to co-write a Django/Zorro movie which, like the comic, will take place several years after the first movie and will see Django – still a bounty hunter – stumble across an aged Diego de la Vega AKA Zorro.
Pretty soon the duo team up to take down a town full of evildoers!
All. The. Yes!
Tarantino has long said he would return after his tenth movie and he’s already tipped to make a Star Trek movie at Paramount, so it’s hard to know if this is a project he’d want to direct himself or even if Foxx would be returning – my guess would be Tarantino will co-write and produce, while Foxx will return as Django.
As always, once I know more, you’ll all know more too.
Let me know if you’d be interested in such a team-up in all the usual ways.

In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
