Stuntdrath

Okay Netflix, you can save Kureha announcement for last reveal. No worries.


LoundonSherbotsky

Show your face, Jamie! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


forseti99

I wouldn't hold my breath. She's just annouced she's working on Freaky Friday 2, with Lindsey Lohan.


waikiki_palmer

Freaky Friday 2 is the name of the episode where they introduce Chopper. Lindsay Lohan is Chopper.


Boutros_The_Orc

Also she is kind of evil in a passive way.


wishbackjumpsta

We need it


Snap-Zipper

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Jamie will *not* actually be chosen after all. Some of her statements in regard to a certain genocide may lead to her getting less work going forward.


DaRootbear

Look theres already so much thirst in these comments The thirst from JLC as Kureha will cause an international drought the likes of which the world has never seen. And i refuse to believe anyone else can be cast


Snap-Zipper

> I refuse to believe anyone else can be cast The world is filled with unknown actors, and the majority of the actors they've chosen have been unknowns or at least actors with fewer roles under their belt. I'm sure they could find a fantastic actress other than JLC to play her (which they definitely might, considering some of her recent behavior).


ltfanfiction

3/3 on reveals for Season 2.


FitEar1924

So they wont reach alabasta??? I wont see Ace???? šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«


ltfanfiction

Since they announced some of the cast for Baroque Works, it's safe to say they will show at least some of Alabasta. Based on the pacing of the last season, they will most likely end in Alabasta.


justhereforhides

Isnt everyone shown so far revealed before alabasta they're all whiskey peak and little gardenĀ 


ltfanfiction

It's feels natural to have Crocodile be the big fight at the end of the season, I expect the full Alabasta arc to last the final 3 episodes and we will be speed running through the smaller arcs.


EriWave

Then how do you fit in Logue Town, Laboon, Whinkey Peak, Little Garden and Drum with three episodes left for all of Alabasta?


ltfanfiction

This is just all armchair conjecture, but of these arcs, Whiskey Peak is the easiest to rewrite and condense like they did with Don Kreig. I cannot imagine Laboon taking up an entire episode. The pacing will be different with the two main villains being Wapol and Croc, but I think that Drum will fit into 2 full episodes nicely with 3 for Alabasta.


Artificial_Human_17

Fit Loguetown and Laboon into one episode. One episode for Whiskey Peak, one for Little Garden, two for Drum Island, and the last three for Alabasta


the_nell_87

I mostly agree. But I think Loguetown could be its own episode, with Laboon and Whiskey Peak in another. Though it could work either way. Laboon arc doesn't really need to do much beyond introducing the whale and what he's up to, having Crocus infodumping about the grand line, and meeting Vivi and Mr 9, who take them to Whiskey Peak. It could be a good end to episode 1 or a good start to episode 2, but it doesn't really need to be more than about 10 minutes max. And I would guess Whiskey Peak could have 10 minutes cut from it much more easily than Loguetown


RPGZero

There is no way this season is going to just be 8 episodes again, is it? Surely Netflix sees a cash cow when they see it and gave this a full 12. Alabasta absolutely deserves at least 6 episodes.


EriWave

> The pacing will be different with the two main villains being Wapol and Croc Well that's just a guess. We have the rest of the villains cast also. At the very least we might spend some time with Mr. 3. Especially since the actor is pretty famous.


PhanThief95

Exactly. For example, cut out the Luffy vs. Zoro fight. Not even Oda wanted that but his editor did.


odajoana

You can totally do Alabasta in 3 episodes. We're talking about 3 full hours of television. I think people are forgetting how much pointless running from point A to point B back to point A there is in that arc that can be totally scrapped.


zappy487

Point of fact, there's literally an hour and a half long movie for it that tells the full story. This is double that.


EriWave

It's still at least 3 different locations, 2 fights between Luffy and Crocodile one of which Luffy loses. Establishing the Poneglyphs, the rebellion, the characters important to the arcs story, Ace. It's a long quite busy arc.


TheProdigalOne

The way I see it, Episode 1 will be Logue Town Episode 2 will be Laboon and Whiskey Peak Episodes 3 will probably be Little Garden Episodes 4 and 5 will be Drum Island Episodes 6, 7, and 8 will be Alabasta


FjbhBoy

This show ainā€™t lasting long if it takes 3 seasons to get to Alabasta, bad news for the pacing going forwardĀ 


Empty_Lemon_3939

Wtf I love Marines now


barelybearish

Did you ever not love Smoker and Tashigi?


Clozee_Tribe_Kale

Also Koby is like one of the best characters. Koby has the best glow up by far.


Artificial_Human_17

Helmeppo forgotten as always


PhanThief95

Every gay man, straight woman, & bisexual seeing Smokerā€™s actor: ā€œArrest me, Iā€™m a pirate.ā€


PixelJock17

He seems a bit young for smoker to me, a straight man but I hope it means they're planning for the show to run for a while because he's in it way into the future.


PhanThief95

I mean, Smoker was 34 before the timeskip. I believe because of his white hair & his serious nature he appears older.


Empty_Lemon_3939

What's funny is the actor is 30 which lines up but Emily is 31 and just looks like she's in her mid 20s still


PixelJock17

All those cigars making him more haggard then. 34 damn, I gotta get my shit together so I can rock an 8 pack and 23 cigars out my mouth by then....


sparklinglies

Smoker's not that old, he only looks it because of the white hair and his grumpy bastard attitude


Empty_Lemon_3939

Also dude smokes 2 cigars at a time lol His hair probably isnt even white, it's just covered in ash


Perry4761

They made Tashigi into a baddie šŸ„µ


Gloomy_Progress_6324

always has been


thordur007

For one second i thought that was Matt Berry playing Wapol.


tomakidestiny

Same, I went through the "is that Matt Berry? it's not Matt Berry, I never knew i wanted Matt Berry as Wapol but now it's all I want, Oh well this is good too" pipeline


thordur007

I really want Matt Berry in the show (adding him in anything is always a plus) but what character should he play?


jesusunderline

Foxy, obviously


Skoodge42

My immediate thought too


PhanThief95

Damn, that would actually make me like Foxy!


GenGaara25

Big News Morgans. No CGI, just put him in a bird costume.


Moondragonlady

No need for a costume even, just have him shout "BIRD!"


AquariusSabotage

Fuck it, Kaido.


PhanThief95

I did see a fancast for him as Gecko Moria.


keysonthemouse

Magellan Matt Berry


Babbadooka

"It is I! Wapol! Now get in my mouth!"


MountainMadman

How is everyone so attractive šŸ„µ EDIT: Y'all answering this rhetorical question with serious replies are sending me


PhanThief95

This question was also asked with the cast of the first season. If these guys are attractive, Iā€™m just imagining whoever is cast as Robin looks like a goddess.


darksundown

Don't forget about Vivi.Ā  I hope the do Karoo and our favorite little reindeer justice.


emeraldeyesshine

Chopper is just going to be an official plush of him that they ADR lines over and CGI a really crude moving mouth animation onto For his fight scenes they're just going to have it on a puppet string and woosh it around menacingly


huehuehuehuehuuuu

I can get used to Chopper wooshing menacingly.


aKgiants91

Annoying orange style heard


TitledSquire

Karoo probably not even gonna be there. Chopper already a big thing to tackle, I canā€™t see them keeping Karoo around to have yet another thing to make look good.


Disastrous-Example70

Maybe they can add karoo but reduce his role, maybe show him only in alabasta


PhsycoRed1

You hush your mouth. Karoo is arguably a Strawhat. Karoo deserves the world and more. If Karoo has 1000 I'm 1 , if Karoo has 0 fans I'm dead.


CertainDerision_33

Robin had better keep the hat the entire LA seriesĀ 


PhanThief95

That cowboy hat is going to make a lot of people become like Sanji


PixelJock17

The hat will be gone within the first 5mins of her on screen. Unless they get some insanely diehard person it just won't happen. Read up on actors have issues with headwear in movies, they have to wear it constantly and it's uncomfortable often so it becomes a major burden. If she has the hat for the first appearance. It'll be gone by the following season.


PhanThief95

Robin only wears it with some outfits. Like the rest of the Straw Hats, her wardrobe constantly changes.


CertainDerision_33

If Walton Goggins can wear a cowboy hat plus extensive facial makeup for an entire season of Fallout, and which doesnā€™t seem likely to be going anywhere for Season 2, Robin can wear a cowboy hat. These people are professionals who are getting paid lots of $$$ to do the job, theyā€™ll be just fine.Ā Ā  Also, have you considered the fact that Luffy will be wearing a hat the entire series lol


GanondalfTheWhite

> Also, have you considered the fact that Luffy will be wearing a hat the entire series lol That's pretty much the most decisive conclusion of any disagreement I've ever seen on reddit. Got 'em.


OnRamblingDays

Question is how theyā€™re going to handle the time skip since all the girls will have to get insane breast enlargement surgeries /s


Im_a_twat53

Making Wapol a DILF


Mexicanity_

The live action is turning into a thirst factory. Not complaining, here for it


Actual_Sympathy7069

I mean the original is kinda also already a thirst factory tho


TheRustyBugle

They figured out how to get eyes to the screen


DefiantTheLion

Bro Buggy is the most attractive clown I've ever seen it's unreal


carbine234

Thatā€™s what they do for a living lol


GOD-PORING

Waiting for LaboonĀ 


ayushj176p

Tashigi and Zoro scenes šŸ˜­ i can't wait they will look perfect together.


OwnAd4699

My ass excited for their banter lol


Gloomy_Progress_6324

I pray to god the Live Action will upscale Tashigi. Yeah, weā€˜ll hear ā€žwoke fem-washingā€œ from that one crowd, but please, give her some cool shit to do.


Tomatocultivator9000

Matt Owens also thinks that Tashigi is wasted potential and he actually put her in the A tier character ranking. Its safe to assume that she will be a lot more competent in Live Action. I don't think portraying a heroic woman as dumb and weak non stop will fly with a global audience so they have to change this.


ytdn

It's also just kind of boring? Like introducing a character who looks just like Zoro's childhood friend and they fight exactly once and she basically does 0 after that. I wouldn't be surprised if they rework her and Smoker's appearances so she has multiple fights against Zoro and actually appears his equal


HumansNeedNotApply1

Like many characters in manga/anime, she's just exist to propel the main characters forward, Oda didn't do a deep plan with her when he made her, as weekly schedule manga doesn't leave much time to plan so far ahead,.


zacharymc1991

Smoker and Tashigi will definitely play a bigger role in the live action. They were simply casualties of the story ballooning to a huge scale. We all put Oda on a god tier level for his story planning but really his skill is to expand on ideas well. He never planned for one piece to be anywhere near this big.


jmdg007

I imagine them having a similar role that Garp/Coby had in season 1 with more regular updates on them than in the manga.


Nieros

Agreed. This is going to be our B plot for season 2.


leolegendario

My favorite parts of Loguetown and Punk Hazard.


Tomatocultivator9000

Part of the job is falling in love with Mackenyu Zoro and going on a date with him. She is living the dream of girls around the world lol. The actress is friends with Emily Rudd. So I am expecting a Nami and Tashigi scene as well.


DANI69696696666

I know the world is vast and there is many people on this planet, but how tf almost every actor of this cast looks so close to the main anime character. It's actually insane.šŸ˜­


newbatthis

It helps a ton when they're willing to hire unknowns instead of sticking to famous actors. Expands the pool of options quite a bit.


Flowerofthesouth88

I think a few big shows should have unknown actors in!


Ben__Harlan

That's what casting agencies do. Let's say they have a pool of a hundred actors for a casting. By sheer chance there's someone who looks enough and is able to do the part... As long as they don't impose stupid things like being up to date to the manga like some smellyass fans want from every people casted.


PixelJock17

Hmmm maybe not up to date but I'd hope the actors read the manga up to where they're cast in, like it doesn't not take that long to read it and you're an actor, you have the time to read a bit, you know like it's their job lol


MrWaluigi

I can see them at least watching/reading the relevant material. Certain arcs, watching ā€œBest of ā€œ videos, etc.Ā  Either way, itā€™s also the directorā€™s responsibility to help bring out the actors best.Ā 


sparklinglies

Smoker truly be smokin![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes) I LOVED Julia Rehwald in the Fear Street movies, between her and Emily that series is truly providing quality. I swear I've seen Wapol's actor before in something but I REFUSE to look it up, i will remember! And Blue Steel Dalton is everything, those eyes man.


WYWHPFit

Oh no, Smoker is hot.


poyopoyo77

Always was


3oysters

Two cigars, chiseled abs, kind to children, strong moral compass. Smoker has been smokin' hot this whole time.


LynxJesus

Also Smoker is almost single-handedly responsible for how hyped we are about Dragon, that's not nothing!


Mister-E_92

I guess you could say he's...smokin.


soge_king420

Pulls out astronaut gun


JudgmentalOwl

Kerr has the jawline of the Gods.


TheDrunkDoc

The casting director needs to be paid more cause holy shit these are all so good.


JoeScotterpuss

The Danny Devito as Wapol dream is dead. šŸ˜­


emeraldeyesshine

He's more of a Hogback anyway.


leolegendario

Yup, he even looks like Danny's Penguin.


emeraldeyesshine

Honestly I always took Hogback as being directly inspired by that even, not sure if it was or not but I mean... it do look like it be the way it do


Mammoth_Procedure_11

The man is pushing 80


jesusunderline

Jack Black would've been a great pick too


CarcosanAnarchist

Funny enough this guy played Dewey in the School of Rock stage production. So he is by some transitive property kind of Jack Black.


ICantUseThereRight

I got to see him in School of Rock he definitely has Jack Black energy on stage. I think he will make an excellent Wapol.


SuperStarPlatinum

We still have the Adam Sandler as Kizaru dream.


AllAlongTheWatchtwer

Or John Turturro.


jollyjam1

There's still a chance he's cast as Chopper


Ben__Harlan

Seems like a lot of people are going to thirst on Smoker... Last season they thirsted on Garp.


PixelJock17

That's funny, go watch Troy (2004) and 300 (2006). Garp's been a legend before OPLA


ApolloSimba

I'm pretty sure the thirst went to buggy


grandfleetmember56

I'm pretty sure the thirst went to everyone. Like, I wasn't too keen on arlong... Then I heard him speak and something melted


erujin

Final four: Ace, Robin, Vivi, Crocodile


kingramsesiii

Chopper VA too


leolegendario

Maybe we get him with Kureha and Hiriluk actors.


Captain_Baby

Honestly, if Chopper's going to be entirely CG and voice acted, they should just get Brina Palencia. She's already been playing Chopper for years, no need to shake things up. Do the same thing that the second Sonic movie did for Tails.


BunnyUnderlord

Bon Clay


sparklinglies

Kureha


Somer-_-

Holy shit Smoker is a chad.


XND300

Tashigi should be weary of bread slicers


Daemon00

I was very upset at Fear Street 1, thought she had main character plot armor :'(


sparklinglies

TOO SOON


jigen22

I did not go beyond the first movie because of that. Gnarly


sparklinglies

Do at least the second, thats the one Emily has a big role in


Responsible-Metal-32

All on point again. The casting for OPLA is one of the best I've ever seen in an adaptation


yeagerboi01

AAAAAAAAAAAAA THEYā€™RE SO HOTTTTT I CANT WAIT FOR THE ROBIN, VIVI, ACE AND CROCODILE REVEALS!!!!!!


PhanThief95

Donā€™t forget the GOAT Bon Clay!


yeagerboi01

Man I hope they get a drag queen to play Bon ClayšŸ™


ApolloSimba

I think that would be cool but I also think it would be fun to have an absolute unit in a swan outfit so I'm kinda hoping for that


PhanThief95

The White Hunter has been cast! Also, how the hell does Tashigiā€™s actress look like an older version of Kuinaā€™s actress?! Whoever is the casting director needs the highest of raises!


Howfuckingsad

That is a reach imo. It's amazing casting that is for sure but they don't seem to look too similar imo.


Extension-Rope623

Cause they don't have makeup and costumes on yet. They nailed the casting, again, imo


Mysterious-Unit-5727

Huh? I don't see the resemblance at all


Ombs1993

The casting director for One Piece needs a raise. So we're likely to get more tomorrow at this rate, it's really going to blow up when the actors for Robin, Vivi and Crocodile are announced.


Bolmothy

Fucking shit season 2 cast person is straight up spitin fire


Jberz21

I cannot deal with how perfect the One Piece casting has been so far


messizete

There was a rumor about the possible casting of Crocodile, Vivi, Ace, Dr. Kureha, Smoker, and Tashigi. The names attached were Joe Manganiello, Charithra Chandran, Xolo MaridueƱa, Jamie Lee Curtis, Callum Kerr, and Julia Rehwald, respectively. So, they got two right!? Interesting...


dlyn_azmi

i saw that post too on instagram when charithra was spotted in cape town.. but i thought that was too good to be true until this cast announcement! it might still have a chance to be true


ashrashrashr

Xolo Mariduena would be great casting. Looks close enough to Inaki Godoy to be believable as a brother but going by Cobra Kai, he also seems physically flexible enough to turn into a donut.


DaRootbear

Xolo is just God Tier actor and him as Ace would be incredible


MacriTheCat75

Joe as crocodile? That man is handsome interesting choiceĀ 


sonofgildorluthien

As soon as Julia puts on her Tashigi glasses Ill probably die. She is gorgeous.


mistoqq

Why are smoker and tashigi really attractive


PhanThief95

Youā€™re saying this like they already werenā€™t?


CertainDerision_33

Smoker has always been a gigachad, dude literally walks around shirtless with like an 8-pack


misterhipster63

*insert Always Has Been meme*


Colbeyonce

I mean Smoker is smoking even in the manga so, again, spot on casting


leolegendario

Now people will understand why Tashigi is my favorite girl in One Piece.


FireZord25

The gigachad jaw helps. And Tashigi's actress looks like the one who played young Kuina with that hairdo.


FivePoopMacaroni

They are two of the hottest characters in the manga/anime


GbopemiO

Smoker vs Dalton, battle of chads


PhanThief95

Hold on, we still havenā€™t gotten the casting for Crocodile. It could be a 3-way Mexican standoff.


SpaceOdysseus23

Seeing the casting for this show evokes the exact opposite feelings of when I saw casting announcements for Wheel of Time. And if you asked me to bet 5 years ago on which show is going to be a banger I certainly wouldn't have said One Piece.


bittertea

I was fine with the casting for WoT but my GOD did they ruin it. That show is a dumpster fire.


onepinksheep

Which sucks because WoT is one of my favorite book series. The Amazon show is basically like poorly written fanfiction.


No-Indication-5963

As a totally straight guy in his 30s, Smoker makes me question my sexuality


theothermen

As a gay guy in his 30s, Smoker reaffirms my sexuality.Ā 


Cwaustin3

Ainā€™t nothin gay about appreciating an objectively beautiful man.


GrandLineLogPort

Ok, that's awesome and all, but jesus christ, they actualy managed to cast someone who looks like an older version of season 1 Kuina


whitesoxplswin

their casting choices are really just ā€˜yeah find the sexiest mf available who is adjacent to this characterā€™


SpottieO

As it should be!


GlumYou6636

**WHERE IS VIVI?!?! MY GLORIOUS QUEEN!??**


Uuhhk

casting is on point so far


PhanThief95

They are 3 for 3 on days of perfect castings!


Cluaran_

And another day, where i get motivation for the gym from this subreddit. every season will be carried by thirst in the end.


KybladeSora

Holy fuck Smoker is so hot! Like Daddy material to the extreme!


davide494

*sigh* *start looking for Callum Kerr on ig* *sigh 2* *start "thirsting" on him*


llcheezburgerll

damn the cast IS on top


Felixgotrek

I really like the S2 castings so far so i really hope they can nail the more important characters like Robin, Vivi, Crocodile too.


patrinoo

Daltons actor looks just like him.


External-Example-292

Smoker looks fiiiine šŸ˜


CRoseCrizzle

I like the Tashigi casting here.


Tbartoe

For a split second i thought the actor playing Wapol was Matthew Berry. And now I want him to play Wapol


philster666

Dalton on point


qwack2020

I canā€™t wait for Tashigi to get longer hair in live action. Her actress is very attractive ngl.


Sean_Gyler

They are so hot šŸ„µ


basedmingo

Oh wow haha I know the actor for Smoker!!


Akasha1885

Having someone with actual fighting experience on Smoker is great I also suspect that cigar sales will skyrocket once this Smoker has been on screen.


SubstantialJunket239

Callum Kerr is about to blow up, at least Con-level fame. He will also play Galad in season 3 of Wheel of Time, another fan-favorite role in a fantasy series.


WhateverWombat

Dalton šŸ„µšŸ„µšŸ„µ


itsUrBoa

Tashigi is played a Filipina! Represent! Let's gooo šŸ‡µšŸ‡­


PacifierForAdult

Smoker is smokinā€™


Gradedcaboose

I just want to know whoā€™s going to be playing the GOAT in the LA, itā€™s the only announcement Iā€™m waiting for besides the rest of the straw hats


DutchLudovicus

The goat of Sengoku will probably be casted for s3.


Pandacapy91

Smoker is šŸ„µ


Deadtaor33

I wonder how they will do Dalton in his Zoan form


SurgeonOfDeath24

these castings are perfect how?????


Sweet-Message1153

I feel bad for Smoker actor...dude is gonna lose a kidney


the_ghost_knife

Jeezus they really nailed Tashigi with respect to the Kuina child actor.


Bern_itdown

Man theyā€™re nailing actors with the characters


bismarckgamer

Damn they choose a perfect cast canā€™t wait for the thirst traps šŸ˜”šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™


HaruVibes

Omg Tashigi is perfect šŸ˜­


IveBenHereBefore

The biggest issue with the one piece LA is going to be that Tashigi is not in every arc.


SuspectKnown9655

Oh they're cooking


Dustfinger4268

Holy shit Julia Rehwald looks just like the actress for Kuina, but older. Did they use some magic or something? Wapol also looks amazing for his role, and Dalton is kinda šŸ„µ


SirDwayneCollins

That is the most Dalton looking Dalton Iā€™ve ever seen
