The legend rides again. The teaser trailer for The Mask of Zorro (2025) has officially been released, delivering a sleek and electrifying first look at a brand-new chapter in the swashbuckling saga—this time starring Keanu Reeves as the iconic masked vigilante and Jenna Ortega as his cunning and courageous protégé.

Directed by Alfonso Gómez-Rejón (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl), the film reboots the classic tale with a darker, grittier tone while honoring the spirit of rebellion, romance, and justice that made the original a cinematic icon.

Set in 1830s California on the brink of political upheaval, the film follows a weary but still-feared Don Diego de la Vega (Reeves), who is forced out of hiding when a ruthless Spanish land baron threatens to enslave entire villages for silver and power. Ortega plays Isabela Murrieta, a fiery orphan raised in secret who may be more than she appears—and who refuses to let Zorro fight alone.

The teaser features sweeping horseback chases through arid canyons, slow-motion sword duels by candlelight, and a rousing orchestral score that builds to the sight of the legendary “Z” slashed across a burning flag. Reeves’ voice is heard in a whisper: “Justice is not a myth. It’s a promise… delivered in darkness.”

Fans are already raving about the casting, calling the pair “perfectly intense,” with hashtags like #ZorroReturns, #KeanuZorro, and #JennaOrtegaSwordfighter trending across social media.

The Mask of Zorro (2025) is scheduled to release globally on December 12, 2025, and is expected to kick off a new trilogy blending action, legacy, and rebellion.
