Variety reports that Peruvian filmmaker Ricardo de Montreuil (pictured) is in line to take on the project, as he will direct a screen test for Bernal. But nothing is yet signed and sealed.
De Montreuil attracted Hollywood's attention with his short film The Raven - a sci-fi thriller set in a future Los Angeles - which is to be turned into a full-length feature by Universal.
The new Zorro film is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and portrays the title character as a masked vigilante bent on getting revenge against an evil tyrant and his gang of mercenaries.
It's not just Zorro that's coming back. We're also getting more from Chronicle, the found footage flick about three high-school students whose lives spin out of control after they gain superpowers.
From director Josh Trank and writer Max Landis and made for just $12million, Chronicle has so far earned $106million at the box office.
Unsurprisingly, a sequel is on the cards and, according to Deadline, Landis has been hired to get to work on a screenplay. There's no word yet on whether Trank will be back in the director's chair, but he has reportedly been offered the chance to helm Sony's Spider-Man spin-off Venom. Nor is there any talk about casting, although it would be difficult for all the main characters from the first film to return.
