Sony Pictures is moving forward with a film adaptation of the comic book series 'Django/Zorro,' which crosses over Quentin Tarantino's Django character from 'Django Unchained' with the classic Zorro. The studio has hired Academy Award-winning screenwriter Brian Helgeland (known for 'Mystic River' and 'L.A. Confidential') to write the screenplay.
The project was first announced in 2013, with Tarantino and Helgeland co-writing a story that was later adapted into a comic series published by Dynamite Entertainment in 2014. The comic, written by Matt Wagner and illustrated by Esteve Polls, follows Django Freeman teaming up with the aging Don Diego de la Vega (Zorro) to fight injustice.
As of April 2026, no director or cast has been attached, and a release date has not been set. Tarantino is not expected to direct, as he has stated he plans to retire after his tenth film, which is currently in development.
