During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, actor Jack Black has revealed that he still has ambitions to don the luchador mask once more for a sequel to the 2006 wrestling comedy Nacho Libre.
The original film was directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) from a script by Jared and Jerusha Hess and Mike White and was loosely based upon the story of Fray Tormenta, a Catholic priest in Mexico who moonlighted as a masked wrestling in order to financially support his orphanage. It went on to gross almost $100 million worldwide.
This isn’t the first time at Black has expressed his interest in reprising the role of orphanage cook-turned-wrestler Ignacio, stating back in 2006 that: “I sure hope [there’s a sequel]. I love working with Jared. I think it’s a good bet that we’ll collaborate on something again. Mike had an idea that it would be Nacho goes to Japan, we’ll see though.”
