Live Action One Piece, from sheer confusion to Season 2 renewal.

[Jman]

Casting calls!

[MasqueradeOverture]

[Jman]

S2 casting!

One of these is a bit more high profile than the others.

[MasqueradeOverture]

One Piece taking place in the Mulholland Drive-verse confirmed.

[Jman]

Little Garden and Crocus are cast.

[Jman]

Smoker, Wapol, and Tashigi.

[viperxmns]

May whoever gets casted as Kureha have mercy from whichever deity she believes in, because she's never gonna get it from the One Piece fandom.

[Jman]

I mean, it was scheduling, not money or one side being dicks about it, but still, Lord have mercy on who does get the role.  

[3ngag3]

I see people actually celebrating this because they don't want a Zionist as part of the cast...

[Jman]

No Curtis, but we got Peg Bundy and Leela’s VA!  Also a Golden Globe winner for Sons of Anarchy.

She may not be Jamie Lee Curtis, but I expected someone I didn't recognize. This could be a good performance.

[viperxmns]

Yo did not expect Katey Sagal

[naraku360]

Looking forward to this continuing to be better than the original manga/anime.

[Jman]

 

The casting continues.  Still no word on our big 3 for this season, Vivi, Crocodile, and Robin.

 

[Jman]

Here’s our Vivi.

Maybe it's because my knowledge of One Piece comes from pop culture osmosis, but why would Vivi be called Miss Wednesday? Is it a Netflix thing?

[Top Gun]

When the Straw Hats meet her, Vivi is undercover in the Baroque Works criminal organization. Its female officers have names based on days or holidays, so she goes by Miss Wednesday.

Yet another “oh no he’s hot” casting choice. Even Wapol’s actor ain’t a bad looker. Crocodile is gonna be deadly handsome but for real I’ve never been so attracted to the old king.

Katey Sagal is a fun choice for Kureha. Probably best that they didn’t get a very new actress who would get the brunt of the backlash over JLC not getting the role. Sagal at least has been in the industry for decades and has some following between a handful of beloved characters.

I guess they’re trying not to spoil that Wednesday turns out to be Vivi but I mean… people who don’t know that are very unlikely to be following the cast announcements. Following their logic though, Robin will be announced as Sunday. I wonder if they’ll keep it Miss All Sunday or drop the All? I always thought that was a peculiar choice.

I know some of the translations called her “Ms. Bloody Sunday.”

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

[EmpressAngel]

Between Garp, Kuina's dad, and now Cobra, can confirm that Dilf Piece is real.

[Jman]

 

Our Chopper voice is confirmed.

[viperxmns]

Hm so does that mean a different actor voices each of Chopper's forms? What about base form then

[Top Gun]

...wait, Barto?

[Mr. Idea Box]

With all of these casting calls for the second season alone, I have a bad feeling it'll be too crowded when it does come out.

A lot of it is probably cameos and commitments for S3, Alabasta proper.

Thank God.

This is supposed to be Godoy visiting the set of Cobra Kai for its final season, but everyone is reading deep into one part - 

 

They seem to be heavily hinting Xolo Mariduenda will be Ace.

I mean, Xolo's already on Netflix's payroll depending on how you look at it. And we already know he can do his own stunts like the rest of the cast.

[Jman]

That Robin casting call was a fucking lie - 

Ms. Abova is Russian.

[viperxmns]

 

[Sketch]

Crocodile is a bit of a let down. Nothing against the guy, I enjoy a lot of his performances and I do want to see his Crocodile but I think they should have gone with someone less recognizable for such an important role.

[Jman]

Abova is really getting it from the internet because Russians aren’t exactly popular.

[Jman]

Miss Goldenweek's being aged up.

[Jman]

No word on Chopper.

[Jman]

Filming has wrapped.  Estimated air date is late 2025/early 2026.
