As fans know, Maridueña is a popular fan-cast choice for the role of Portgas D. Ace, Luffy’s fiery older brother. While there’s no official word yet, this pairing has fans holding their breath and eagerly piecing together the clues. Could this be the hint they’ve been waiting for?
Iñaki Godoy and Xolo Maridueña Recreate Iconic Luffy-Ace Pose
The crossover between One Piece and Cobra Kai is the talk of the town. Iñaki Godoy, who plays the enthusiastic Monkey D. Luffy, visited the Cobra Kai set and had the chance to do Miyagi-Do techniques with none other than Xolo Maridueña.
The highlight of this visit was a stunt session where Godoy and Maridueña perfectly recreated an iconic pose from One Piece.
Their playful banter and flawless execution were caught on camera, fueling rumors that Maridueña might be the new Portgas D. Ace. For fans of both series, this was more than just a crossover—it was a tantalizing peek at what might be.
With Maridueña’s impressive moves in Cobra Kai and his strong chemistry with Godoy, he seems like a perfect fit for Ace. However, despite the speculation, no official word has been given. The excitement builds as we wait for more updates!
What Xolo Maridueña Has to Say About the Role of Ace
Theories about Xolo Maridueña taking on the role of Portgas D. Ace in One Piece Season 2 have been bubbling for some time. Fans have been on deck, cheering for Maridueña to step into Luffy’s brother’s shoes, and his recent hangout with Iñaki Godoy only made the speculation hotter than a fiery Ace flame.
The Blue Beetle star himself has stirred the pot of rumors with a wink and a nudge. During a recent TikTok live session (as per ComicBook), he hinted at his excitement about the role but was careful not to confirm anything. The 23-year-old said:
It’s a dream, but it has to be right.
Maridueña noted that he still needs to audition like everyone else unless the casting team decides he’s a perfect fit. Meanwhile, One Piece Season 2 is already in production in South Africa.
And while fans are eagerly awaiting more news, it’s expected to be a while before the show hits screens—likely not before 2025. Until then, the mystery of Maridueña’s role remains unsolved, but the excitement is palpable.
One Piece Season 1 is available to watch on Netflix.
