“He’s like a Mexican Tom Holland”: Iñaki Godoy is Going to be a Huge Star in Hollywood and the Support For the Luffy Actor Proves It

Iñaki Godoy could soon land his first major Hollywood role.

SUMMARY

One Piece Live Action star, Iñaki Godoy has gained worldwide popularity after perfectly portraying Monkey D. Luffy and winning everyone’s heart.
Netflix has promoted several actors and actresses in the past and the fans believe it is Iñaki Godoy’s turn to be the next big thing in Hollywood.

Millie Bobby Brown made her Hollywood debut after starring in Netflix’s Stranger Things and reaching the peak of popularity.

Fans believe there is another upcoming star in Hollywood, who was given his first major break by Netflix, through One Piece Live Action. He played the role of Monkey D. Luffy and nailed it to perfection. The actor is none Iñaki Godoy. Even though One Piece Live Action was released five to six months back, he is still a darling to the fans.

Netflix has always promoted new faces and helped them get their first break. Several actors and actresses became popular worldwide after working with Netflix. The first name that comes to mind is Millie Bobby Brown. She starred in Netflix’s Stranger Things and went on to become one of the upcoming stars in Hollywood.

Iñaki Godoy’s Popularity Has Skyrocketed

Through Netflix’s One Piece Live Action, Iñaki Godoy has earned his spotlight, and his popularity has been on the rise. He became a global star at just 20 years old. Monkey D. Luffy is one of the most popular anime characters of all time, and people were skeptical after the live-action series was announced. But Godoy’s love for Eiichiro Oda’s magnum opus and the mangaka helped him overcome his fears and give his best performance.


After a successful debut on Netflix, fans think that Godoy could soon land his first major project in Hollywood and follow the steps of Millie Bobby Brown. Iñaki Godoy is from Mexico and can speak Spanish. During an interview with Teen Vogue, he mentioned that his Spanish voice is deeper than his English voice. It could be a massive game changer for him, considering he is multilingual. After a stellar performance, Netflix has renewed One Piece for a second season.

The second season is under production. Even Millie Bobby Brown had to wait a few seasons before becoming a known face. Moreover, Netflix has a great record when it comes to producing some massive stars. With a couple more seasons, Godoy would have a pretty strong work record. Fans are hopeful that they get to see real-life Luffy on the big screen soon.

Fans Have Kept Their Faith on Iñaki Godoy

Iñaki Godoy’s performance as Luffy won a lot of hearts, but there are still a few who believe he could have done better. They are not criticizing him, instead they are pointing at his inexperience. With experience, he has the potential to be a great actor. Fans have started calling him the Mexican Tom Holland due to how adorable he looks.


After watching his interview with Teen Vogue, fans have said that he is too cute and perfect to play the role of Monkey D. Luffy.


They think that Godoy being himself is enough to make people laugh. Several comments are lining down on the video about his characteristics. Even on Reddit, fans have mentioned how they loved the series. His goofy smile matches the Straw Hats’ captain.

While the fans are wishing him the best of luck, Hollywood is keeping an eye on his progress. It might be soon that he is seen in a bigger role. Many might fear that the popularity might get to his head, and he might leave One Piece Live Action in between. But after watching the cast through the interviews, especially Iñaki Godoy, it looks like they are in for the long haul.
