Antonio Banderas now himself clarified that his participation in “Indiana Jones5“will be very, very small. “It’s Almost a Cameo”he explained in an interview with . His character is simply a friend of Indiana Jones, who is briefly visited by him because the hat-and-whip adventure hero needs something from him. Thus, the appearance takes up very little time in the film. But he’s still incredibly happy to be a part of this saga, which is, after all, part of movie history.
When Indiana Jones 5 hits theaters June 29, 2023, stars other than Harrison Ford will resist have performances. First and foremost is Phoebe Waller-Bridge. As Indy’s goddaughter Helena, she helps the famous hero. Because he doesn’t like the idea that the US government is counting on the help of ex-Nazis in its desperate attempt to win the race to the moon against the Russians.

Antonio Banderas in Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish
The interview with led Banderas on the occasion of the upcoming theatrical release of the animated film “Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish”, where he once again plays the brave cat in the original version. By the way, one of the role models for the spin-off “Shrek” is the series “Indiana Jones”. But the biggest example is another well-known brand that Banderas is also associated with: “Zorro”! Banderas played the title role in two of the many Avenger of the Poor film adaptations (1998’s The Mask of Zoro and 2005’s The Legend of Zoro) of the 1919 story Avenger of the Poor.
Surprisingly, no new Hollywood movie “Zorro” has come out since then (a crossover project by Quentin Tarantino with his hero Django from “Django Unchained” recently failed). But Banderas just made headlines with a surprising suggestion that he could very well see his Uncharted co-star, Marvel Spider-Man Tom Holland, in the iconic role. And he would be willing to pass on the torch in a film, ie hand over cloak and sword to Holland as his successor. Let’s see if these comments don’t give some Hollywood bosses ideas…
But first of all, “Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish” will hit theaters from December 22, 2022.
