Robert Rodriguez is a prolific filmmaker who has directed episodes of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, as well as a children's movie called We Can Be Heroes. A few years back, he was working on a female-led show for NBC that never happened, but now it is at the CW.
Rodriguez was attached to The Mark of Zorro in the mid 1990s, but the film was eventually made by Martin, who was also the director of The Faculty. He was working on a TV series for NBC that was to follow an underground artist who fights for social justice as a contemporary version of the mythical Zorro and runs afoul of criminals.
Rodriguez might get to make his Zorro show at the CW, since the network is developing a gender- swapped version of the classic masked vigilante character. It is described as a new iteration of that NBC project, and is about a young Latinx woman seeking vengeance for her father's murder joins a secret society and adopts the outlaw persona of Zorro.
The show will be co-written by Rodriguez, Sean Tretta, and Rebecca Rodriguez, the latter being Robert Rodriguez's sister who is an experienced TV director. If the CW decides to add a different sort of masked avenger to its stable of superhero-adjacent content, she will direct the Zorro show.
