----- ADS-----
Netflix’s One Piece is back at work, and all eyes are on season two now that filming has begun. Earlier this month, the team at Netflix confirmed the stars of One Piece had arrived in South Africa to start production. Following a slew of casting updates, rumors are running wild about who will bring Portgas D. Ace to One Piece, and now fan-fave Xolo Mariduenda is addressing rumors about himself.
The confession comes from The Lone Lobos podcast as Mariduena co-hosts the show. Taking to TikTok Live, it was there the actor was asked if he was playing Ace in One Piece, and the actor did not outright deny the claim. Rather, he said the role would be a dream and securing the gig would require auditioning just like everyone else.
“Not yet,” Mariduena shared when asked about nabbing the role. “It’s a dream, but at the same time, it has to be right. I’ve got to audition for it. I’ve got to go the same route as everyone else. Unless they’re like, ‘Hey, this guy here is so perfect’.”
