5 Reasons The Red Viper Should Be Zorro

Another Zorro movie? It's FINALLY happening!

Seventeen years after the last fabulous remake, starring Antonio Banderas, we can say hello to another Zorro!

Hold your applause and shouts of glee though, you 90's movie lovers.

Rumor mill has it that actor Gael Garcia Bernal has taken the role.

Truth be told, have audiences not already met the perfect masked, caped, horseback riding, hero?

The answer is, of course, yes. Yes we have.

Look no further than the popular Game of Thrones character, The Red Viper, himself.

Here are 5 reasons why.

5. THE LOOK

Although born in Chile, not Mexico, Pedro Pascal has an undeniably perfect skin tone, hair color, body type, and stature to play this famous masked man.

4. THE ATTITUDE

Let’s be honest. We saw it in Game of Thrones. Pascal had nailed down a mixture of conceited, confident, calm, and collected - all in one scene. Scale back all of those personality traits a bit and we have the perfect attitude for Zorro.

(Plus, we have to give him extra points for his wits and sass. What a guy).

3. THE SEX APPEAL

HBO

Now, every Game of Thrones watcher knows that Oberyn was quite the ladies man. Not to mention his interest in the male gender as well. His devilish good looks and cheeky charm were enough for him to become a major heartthrob. Considering what little screen time he had imagine what he could do in a two hour film.

2. SCREEN PRESENCE

SPOILER ALERT: Prince Oberyn only lasted one season. His death was a very extravagant, grosteque, and painful one at the end of season four. In said season, he only had a handful of scenes. In fact, if you look at the compilation of them that exists on youtube, the length only adds up to half an hour. That was all it took for women and men to find him one of the most fun, appealing, and beloved characters of the entire show.

1. THE SKILLS

HBO

Truly, I don’t need to say anything on this front. His skill set with weapons speaks for itself, seen in the episode of his death, sadly. If Pedro Pascal can swing a two-sided spear with such ease, then he can certainly handle some swords and look flawless doing so.
