Netflix has yet to reveal his casting, as well the list of arcs that will be adapted in the second season. Additionally, the new season will definitely have several changes from the main story, so fans are guessing Ace will probably only appear in a flashback.

“I hope it’s only a drum island tease. I want Arabasta to be Season 3,” sharesanother.
Another fansays, “Played by? Broooooooooo this is the most important cast to me for this season. Besides Robin.”
One fanspeculates, “Ah so that basically confirms we getting to Alabasta unless by appear they mean they flashback in Drum Island.”
