We were joined on the Popternative show by Patrick Luwis who is one of the new cast members of Cobra Kai season 6. We are introduced to Patrick’s character, Axel Kovacevic, in part 2 of the season which premiered on November 15 on Netflix.
Part 2 (Episodes 606-610) brings us to the Sekai Taikai tournament in Spain, where Miyagi-Do faces new challenges and old enemies from around the world. Axel is part of a competing dojo at the Sekai Taikai and a major force to be reckoned with. Lewis Tan (Deadpool v. Wolverine, Mortal Kombat) and newcomer Rayna Vallandingham are also part of Axel’s team who join the series in season 6 part 2.
“The vulnerable side of Axel was almost easier for me to do than the intimating big angry guy, because it felt like something I naturally think I cater more towards. I think it was a bit easier for me to get there. Especially working with Mary [Mouser], she’s such a sweetheart and so nice, and made it so easy, you can feel her sincerity, and she helped me get there,” Patrick says on preparing to play the different sides of Axel’s character.
He also discusses his overall experience joining Cobra Kai in season 6, filming some of the intense fight scenes, and more. Watch the full conversation with Patrick below.
Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 is streaming on Netflix. Part 3 will debut in 2025.
