Well, we’ve been talking a lot about THR is reporting as a crossover comic book series bringing together Django Freeman, the character played by Jamie Foxx in Django Unchained, and the iconic Zorro.
Django Unchained was already adapted into a seven-issue miniseries by DC Entertainment in 2013 (pictured) and the “Django/Zorro” comic will be handled by Dynamite Entertainment with DC Entertainment. Tarantino worked on the story with comic book writer Matt Wagner, with Wagner putting together the final script.
No word exactly on what the plot of the comic will be, but I can only assume Django and Zorro will team to take out a variety of criminals of varying sorts.
Tarantino said of the announcement, “I’m very very excited about both this story and the opportunity to work with Matt… It was reading his Zorro stories that convinced me what a good idea it was to join these two icons together. And the story idea we came up with is thrilling, and I think will be an exciting new chapter for both characters.”
The comic is expected later this year.
