Netflix’s One Piece took the world by storm when it dropped this past August, swinging the swashbuckler genre back into the limelight in a way not seen since the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. At the forefront of the adaptation was the relatively unknown Iñaki Godoy as the ever-optimistic Monkey D. Luffy, the potential king of the pirates. With a natural charisma that stole every scene, Godoy’s performance had to have helped showrunner Steven Maeda feel justified in teasing a second season of One Piece. It wouldn’t be surprising, then, to see the talented 20-year-old land more leading roles in the near future.While Disney is already in the process of bringing a Wilmer Valderrama-led Zorro series to Disney+, Godoy’s charming presence as Luffy in One Piece made it impossible not to think of the legendary masked swashbuckler from time to time. Zorro tends to approach most issues with quirky confidence, not dissimilar to Luffy’s attitude toward trouble, oftentimes even carving a “Z” into the fabric of his foes’ clothing to lower their guard. With all due respect to Valderrama, it’s this endearing quality that makes Godoy the perfect — if not the most obvious — choice to don the black mask for a reboot.Zorro’s humble beginnings can be traced back to the pages of Johnston McCulley’s 1919 novel The Curse of Capistrano. The character appeared in several silent films and even more novels throughout the following two decades before The Mark of Zorro was adapted to film for the second time in 1940, this time with full audio. The Mark of Zorro proved to be so popular that it was eventually preserved in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as a significant milestone in filmmaking’s history. Simply put, Zorro was one of the most popular and recognizable vigilantes fighting for those who couldn’t fight for themselves.RELATED: Pirates of the Caribbean Reboot News Has Johnny Depp Fans Crying Foul: ‘No Johnny, No Pirates’RELATED: Why Netflix’s Live-Action One Piece Adaptation Made a Major Change to Windmill Village
