‘NCIS’ Fans React Strongly to Wilmer Valderrama’s Big TV Announcement

Wilmer Valderrama just dropped a bombshell that has ‘NCIS’ fans talking non-stop — he’s officially confirmed his lead role in the long-awaited Zorro reboot. The fan-favorite actor, known for playing Special Agent Nick Torres since 2016, is stepping into the iconic role of the masked vigilante in a new series backed by Disney.

The reactions from fans have been passionate and mixed. Many are thrilled to see Valderrama embrace such a legendary character, praising his charisma and action chops. “He’s perfect for Zorro!” one user tweeted. But others are concerned about what this means for his future on NCIS. Rumors are swirling that this new project could signal his departure from the show, especially after the season finale left Torres in a precarious position.

Whether it’s a full exit or just a scheduling juggle, fans are bracing for changes — and they’re not staying quiet about it. Valderrama, meanwhile, says he’s “honored” to take on the Zorro mantle and promises to bring “fire, heart, and legacy” to the role. Only time will tell how this move reshapes his NCIS journey.
