Iñaki Godoy has portrayed Monkey D. Luffy in Netflix’s One Piece Live Action to its utmost perfection. At first, the fans were skeptical but later loved him as the Gomu Gomu no Mi user. Godoy is going to reprise his role as the Straw Hats’ captain in One Piece Live Action season 2. Due to the live adaptation, his popularity skyrocketed.
Being involved with one of the biggest shows on Netflix, it is next to impossible to star in another fan-favorite series. But ‘Titans’ actor Ryan Potter saw Iñaki Godoy fit to take up the role of Beast Boy in DCU’s Teen Titans. Even though it is an opinion, the fans were quick to take up the issue on social media and had their fair share to say.
Iñaki Godoy Might Be The Missing Ling Between Two Franchises
Iñaki Godoy’s acting was praised by everyone, and it caught the eyes of several big names within the industry. Due to his increasing fame, he might get offered better roles, but the role of Beast Boy is like a dream come true. But the fans are unhappy about it since it could hamper both franchises. Currently, Godoy plays the role of Monkey D. Luffy, but taking up Beast in DCU could see him lose his focus on the former.

There are some positive reviews, while others do not agree with Ryan Potter’s opinion. Having played the Beast Boy in ‘Titans’ Potter’s opinions matter since he is habituated to the characteristics of the superhero. Godoy matches Beast Boy in several aspects. Both of them are in their early twenties. In the comics, Beast Boy stood at 5’8”, but it was changed to 5’ in the animated series. On the other hand, Godoy is 5’7”.
The matching aspects put weightage on him, landing the superhero role, but it is next to impossible to star in two series. Monkey D. Luffy requires utmost focus since he portrays different emotions according to the situation, and there are small things that add up to the Straw Hats’ captain. The same goes for DCU’s Beast Boy. Apart from that, the schedule could be a massive problem, and the dates could clash.
Fans React To Iñaki Godoy’s Probable Beast Boy Casting
Fans have given a mixed reaction to Ryan Potter’s opinion. Iñaki Godoy is a good choice for Beast Boy, but the fans had different opinions. Soon, they took social media by storm and added their outlook to the news. X (formerly Twitter) saw the comments pile up one after another.

There is no doubt about Iñaki Godoy being one of the hottest properties in Hollywood. But to keep up his good work, he needs to stay focused on one thing. Playing Monkey D. Luffy and Beast Boy might make his resume look better, but in the end, the quality matters. With Netflix’s One Piece Season 2 under production, fans might have to wait longer to see him in the all-green avatar.
