Key Takeaways:
– One Piece live-action adaptation has been well-received by fans, with praise for faithful storyline and character depictions.
– Several more major characters yet to appear in the live adaptation.
– Hollywood actors such as Clancy Brown, Antonio Galeas, Ana de Armas, Anthony Anderson, and Erin Maloney could portray these characters aptly.
As the much-awaited live-action adaptation of One Piece continues to take Netflix by storm, a new wave of casting speculations has emerged. The latest round of characters includes Whitebeard, Trafalgar D. Water Law, Boa Hancock, Blackbeard, and Nico Robin.
Who Would Play Whitebeard – An Imposing Figure in One Piece?
A towering figure in Monkey D. Luffy’s universe, the compassionate Edward Newgate, also known as Whitebeard, hasn’t featured in the live-action series yet. However, Clancy Brown, known for his role in the Highlander, could potentially fit the bill. Brown’s commanding screen presence and unique voice may help him construct an authoritative Whitebeard. Alternatively, Vin Diesel may also be a strong contender for the role.
The Right Actor to Play Trafalgar Law
Scarce are the characters as prominent as Trafalgar D. Water Law in One Piece. This critical character calls for a similarly fit actor. Antonio Galeas, despite being relatively unknown, could deliver a perfect rendition of Law, with his physical appearance aligning well with the character. Another potential candidate is Jefri Nichol.
Boa Hancock – A Dream Role for A-list Actress?
Although her introduction is quite late in the series, Boa Hancock has become a fan-favorite. The key to unlocking a live-action portrayal of her could lie with the acclaimed actress Ana de Armas. Another strong candidate includes the Chinese actress, Fan Bingbing, due to Hancock’s Chinese roots. Phillipean actress Kim Domingo could also be a potential contender.
Blackbeard – Heavyweight Hollywood Actor as New Villain?
It’s high time the live-action series introduced the notorious Marshall D. Teach, better known as Blackbeard. Two actors who could do justice to this villain are Anthony Anderson, best known for comedy series Black-ish, and Mexican comedian Felipe Esparza.
Suitable Casting for Nico Robin
The infamous ‘Devil Child’, Nico Robin, is supposed to make her live-action debut soon. Actress Erin Maloney’s physical similarity to the character and rumoured casting might make her an obvious choice in spite of her limited acting experience.
As speculative as these casting suggestions may be, they certainly stoke the excitement for the continuation of One Piece’s live adaptation. Let’s hope the second season will surprise us all with an impeccable actor-character match. Meanwhile, season one of One Piece can be streamed on Netflix.
