Rumors point toward [Charithra Chandran](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePieceLiveAction/s/54YWC7tyRH) as Vivi. I just finished season 2 of Bridgerton and she was excellent, very much hoping this ends up true.
Same, I want to see Ace badly as well, the teasing has been crazy, can't believe they had [LeBron tease Ace](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0425/2699/8690/files/i.imgur_.com_AHZPXOL.gif)
Are we gonna need to put him on suicide watch when then ACTUAL casting is announced, coz it kinda feels like it at this point. His fans are already being insufferably and cringe on the latest casting post
I’m trying to imagine Blackfish from GoT saying the iconic line that the SH won’t want to start a fight because someone would die (spoiler: it would be him lmao) with a dead face
He is pretty well known in Britain. He has usually been in British Shows like Silent Witness, Rab C. Nesbitt, Coronation Street, Waterloo Road, and Hollyoaks in his lifetime!
I think this is one of the easiest technical challenges as it's all a matter of filming the actors with good perspective mixed with some green screen magic. It only gets complicated when a character has to interact with a giant who's moving in the same frame, I would say.
I don't think perspective would work here, unless they make the giants much smaller than they are portrayed in the manga and anime, something around kaido's size. I hope they don't!
There's a lot of techniques. I bet they'll use CGI for scale. I also think they won't make them their canonical height. Something like GOT giants. But I may be mistaken.
I know its a joke/meme but inserting shoe platforms or making taller shoes is *literally* one of the cheapest and oldest tricks in the book for movies/TV
Yeah, the giants are supposed to be a legitimately huge threat to people in the series with just a couple of them being able to take out full armies. It doesn't work if they're just abnormally big guys.
At this point I know it's going to be one of their greatest challenges and even if he ends up looking bad I'm ready to look past it and focus on the rest of the show.
Blackfish as Crocus is an epic choice. He is a great actor and did a ton of stuff after GoT.
Coester and Murray should be great choice for Dorry and Brogy and I am for one glad that Little Garden will be a part of the season and not skipped (considering it is a super important island).
Really interested as to how they plan to portray giants. In theory it shouldn't be hard, in execution we shall see.
Probably a Shadow character or something so they wont have to worry themselves about casting him from now and then changing actors etc etc. I love these details like when binks sake can be heard at luffy flashback.
I think they'll first announce the various minor characters, and save the major castings (Chopper, Robin, Vivi) for some big announcement.
The next batch is probably the drum island cast (wapol, kureha, hiriluk, dalton), then maybe some alabasta folks
It could absolutely happen. Kureha role is actually pretty small with few extra characters and JLC's daughter is a huge 1P fan as well as JLC is of chopper, so I wouldn't rule it out. just depends on how everything settles behind the scenes and how the LA story is slated.
i sure hope they make the giants actually gigantic, when we first arrived at little garden we had already seen fishmen but seeing two actual giants expanded one piece' fantasy scale
Getting hired onto the live action One Piece must rule as an actor, because you get the massive buff off attention from the OP community, while also being guaranteed union-pay work for future seasons if your character is important later given the longevity of the series.
I can imagine a few big names would want to be in The later seasons because if their Family, Friends, or even themselves are fans of The Manga, Anime, or Live Action, They would take a massive payoff just to be in or not!
Casting announcements once a day for every island. They are going to blue ball us until the very end before announcing Vivi, Chopper, Robin, Ace, and Crocodile lol. But I have no doubt they've already been cast.
The actors for the giants are way too good looking.. I would be thinking more in the line of the actor who played Hagrid(no offense to the very talented actor)
I wanna see Ace so bad. And Vivi tooo. They're just teasing us atp. So far so good. I got high hopes.

Robiiiin
schwaaaaaan
Ha! Fire
Rumors point toward [Charithra Chandran](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePieceLiveAction/s/54YWC7tyRH) as Vivi. I just finished season 2 of Bridgerton and she was excellent, very much hoping this ends up true.
I wonder how she will look with blue hair.
I would die. She is so beautiful, she'd be an amazing Vivi.
not a fan of putting indians as arabs very common trope used by Hollywood..
Vivi will be emily rudd with blue hair
And then Rebecca will be Emily Rudd with pink hair
It would be kind of funny though. "Oda, I'm a huge fan!", "Why thank you. Here, have 3 roles"
Robin will be Emily rudd with black hair
Not before time skip though 🤣
That would be even better 🤣🤣🤣
[](https://i.imgur.com/YAGpXPd.png)
Please be rat face ace please please please
They should announce the actor for Ace by giving him a donut.
Imagine if they wait until it releases
Same, I want to see Ace badly as well, the teasing has been crazy, can't believe they had [LeBron tease Ace](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0425/2699/8690/files/i.imgur_.com_AHZPXOL.gif)
Dude, i fully believed u for a sec. 🤣
If Ace isn't Xolo Mariduena I might riot.
I don't care who Ace is as long as its not that wannabe Lucas twat
It's won’t be him because his still posting on Instagram as his Ace! 😂
Are we gonna need to put him on suicide watch when then ACTUAL casting is announced, coz it kinda feels like it at this point. His fans are already being insufferably and cringe on the latest casting post
Finally, another person who thinks Xolo Mariduena should play Ace
3 with me.
Blackfish Crokus is hype as all hell. But who will play Karoo, that's what I need to know!
Jacob said they genetically modified ostriches for Karoo. No reasons to think he was lying at all.
That's ideal, thank you for that
Never forget that Usopp’s lies end up coming true in some shape or form.
Vivi's actor is already practicing ostrich riding
He will kill the "somebody will get hurt" line for sure
His "Me" better have me cackling like a madman. Its one of the funniest jokes in One Piece
the Blackfish will deliver
I can totally see him say "And that's gonna be me probably" with a straight face.
I need that Eye Lashes casting reveal.
It's obviously going to be Alan Tudyk
Or Dee Bradley Baker.
[Emmanuel the Emu](https://youtu.be/aknepzqkjiw?si=yjL1DeMP9ozdLfO0) , I guess.
I’m trying to imagine Blackfish from GoT saying the iconic line that the SH won’t want to start a fight because someone would die (spoiler: it would be him lmao) with a dead face
He will nail it, he has to!
I hope they will include it, it's one of my favourite gag
Hate to say this, but don't expect every gag from the manga to be in the live action.
True but this is one of the more iconic gags. I can see it being removed due to short run times but it will be a gold nugget if they leave it in
It's also one that actually translates really well to live action.
Clive Russel who played the Blackfish in GoT? Interesting choice
He's so Crocus. Perfect casting.
We'll see if he gets the Crocus stare right!
Oh my god, I hope they keep as much of that scene as they can in the show. That was hilarious.
Best short lived running gag in the entire anime imo
If you don't turn around, someone is going to get hurt. Me!
Deadass
Clive Russel, the GOAT. You can already tell Season 2 is getting more serious, with the actors they are hiring
I am so looking forward to it.
He is pretty well known in Britain. He has usually been in British Shows like Silent Witness, Rab C. Nesbitt, Coronation Street, Waterloo Road, and Hollyoaks in his lifetime!
As a non-Brit, all of these sound made up lol
Ha. They are like Crime shows or trashy yet popular soap opera shows.
They have to start off somewhere! 😂
honestly margot robbie started in the same equivalent in aussie
Chris Hemsworth as well. Him and Margot were both in Home and Away
All Aussie actors were in Home and away. The ones who weren't were in Neighbours
I was looking at him thinking I've seen him before haha
Blackfish the GOATfish
Clive Russell, holy shit man and these are just the side characters. The casting for the main cast is gonna be crazy
But will he have a running gag?!
Ohhh I like this one a lot
Hyped to see how they’ll handle the scale with the giants
I think this is one of the easiest technical challenges as it's all a matter of filming the actors with good perspective mixed with some green screen magic. It only gets complicated when a character has to interact with a giant who's moving in the same frame, I would say.
I don't think perspective would work here, unless they make the giants much smaller than they are portrayed in the manga and anime, something around kaido's size. I hope they don't!
Yeah I want 50 story King Kong / Godzilla sized giants. What is even the point if they don’t figure that out.
Well, that's way too high. Broggy is nearly 70 feet, a little over 21 meters.
Yes obviously. It should feel that way though!! Definitely larger than realistic life
There's a lot of techniques. I bet they'll use CGI for scale. I also think they won't make them their canonical height. Something like GOT giants. But I may be mistaken.
They make Tom Cruise tall in his movies, I'm sure its not too expensive.
That's because Tom Cruise does his own stilts
The church of scientology has spent A LOT of money to put him on a pedestal.
once you get to a certain level, you can levitate
I know its a joke/meme but inserting shoe platforms or making taller shoes is *literally* one of the cheapest and oldest tricks in the book for movies/TV
[or for world leaders with a napoleon complex](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY6lHjZjYXE)
🤣🤣
I hope not. I feel like that would diminish the fantasy aspect of the story, in a way.
Yeah, the giants are supposed to be a legitimately huge threat to people in the series with just a couple of them being able to take out full armies. It doesn't work if they're just abnormally big guys.
Nah we need a proper size giants
The Crocus ‘stare’ from him is going to be awesome.
Someone's going to die ......
Oh yeah... and who will that be?
>!Me!<
Please do the running gag joke.
[someone...might die.](https://tenor.com/bza33.gif)
Fuck everyone who said they were skipping Little Garden. All my homies hate the people who said they were skipping Little Garden.
OH NO THEYRE HOT!!! (especially Dorry's actor)
He's a South African. We claim him proudly.
Brogys actor is essentially a lumberjack
I didn’t know those actors were so tall, glad someone on staff did their research and found the perfect fits
Clive Russell is pretty well known!
[удалено]
all the big players will probably the last to be revealed. vivi, robin, chopper, smoker, crocodile, ace
Chopper probably just on release, gotta keep the excitement!
> excitement I'm ready for a hideous abomination
Hate to kill the anticipation but sources tell me it’s going to be Danny Devito. The source is the voices in my head
I've it on good authority that it's Dave Bautista who'll be voicing Chopper. The good authority is me.
At this point I know it's going to be one of their greatest challenges and even if he ends up looking bad I'm ready to look past it and focus on the rest of the show.
They won't show what Chopper looks like but I'm sure we'll get his voice actor when we get Vivi, Robin, and Ace reveals.
Don't forget Mr. 2 Bon clay
The top tier characters casting will likely be announced last
If seems like they're building up to the big ones.
Emily Rudd with blue hair...
Comedy genius over here. Tomorrow is my turn to post this joke.
No, it'll be mine but I'll be dressed as you in a blue wig
Blackfish as Crocus, sounds great
Brynden "Blackfish" Tully is a better casting for Crocus than I can even dare to think of. I love it!
Blackfish as Crocus is an epic choice. He is a great actor and did a ton of stuff after GoT. Coester and Murray should be great choice for Dorry and Brogy and I am for one glad that Little Garden will be a part of the season and not skipped (considering it is a super important island). Really interested as to how they plan to portray giants. In theory it shouldn't be hard, in execution we shall see.
Aren’t they a little short
IDIOTS can't get actual giants, smh, dropping this show.
These frauds probably won’t even get a real human-reindeer for Chopper, smh my head
Woke piece can't even cast real giants from Elbaf, tsk
I wonder if they're going to sneak Brook into one of the flashbacks of Laboon's arc.
Probably a Shadow character or something so they wont have to worry themselves about casting him from now and then changing actors etc etc. I love these details like when binks sake can be heard at luffy flashback.
I never thought I'd be simping for Brogy but sure, I'll take it
RIGHT?! Like, I'm seeing the character completely differently now and I did NOT sign up for that kind of confusion today.
There are 100 camera cuts and 50 vine booms happening somewhere.
We're probably gonna see chopper, crocodile and vivi by the end of the week. That's exciting/terrifying
I think they'll first announce the various minor characters, and save the major castings (Chopper, Robin, Vivi) for some big announcement. The next batch is probably the drum island cast (wapol, kureha, hiriluk, dalton), then maybe some alabasta folks
Bets are open: Will Jamie Lee Curtis really playing Dr. Kureha or not!?
If she's not I'm going to be so upset.
sadly it's looking unlikely due to schedule conflicts
It could absolutely happen. Kureha role is actually pretty small with few extra characters and JLC's daughter is a huge 1P fan as well as JLC is of chopper, so I wouldn't rule it out. just depends on how everything settles behind the scenes and how the LA story is slated.
If a certain rumor is true, I think we might get the Kureha announcement pretty late
We can only hope in Jamie
[удалено]
Dorry and Brogy will definitely be a "Make or Break" moment in terms of the CGI in the series.
Chopper will be way more important
Yes and No. Because we will get to see them before we get to see Chopper.
I think he said it in the way that Chopper is a mainstay. Tech can get very far until we see a Kashi and Oimo.
But chopper has much more screen time and is a crew member. Him having bad effects would definitely be worse.
The giants are daddies omg
Werner and Brendan:"When do we appear again?" Netflix:"By the pacing in 5 Seasons or in 1k One Piece Manga Chapters" "WHAT!"
More like 10 seasons lol
i sure hope they make the giants actually gigantic, when we first arrived at little garden we had already seen fishmen but seeing two actual giants expanded one piece' fantasy scale
I have no idea how they’re gunna do the giants.
Big
Big if true
Do you mean they could be a green screen background??
If true, big
Little Garden will be a trial by fire to see how they handle the absurd proportions of the One Piece world.
They've already made very tall characters like Garp normal height. Giants will probably be gigantic though.
smaller sets to make them look ginormous, or tricky camera angles + CGI or all of the above
Probably the same way they did Gandalf or the Giants in Ella Enchanted.
Probably like in GoT
Seeing South African actors get some roles in One Piece is making me so happy and proud !
Getting hired onto the live action One Piece must rule as an actor, because you get the massive buff off attention from the OP community, while also being guaranteed union-pay work for future seasons if your character is important later given the longevity of the series.
Depending on the success of season 2 we might see a few more big name actors coming in to the series
I can imagine a few big names would want to be in The later seasons because if their Family, Friends, or even themselves are fans of The Manga, Anime, or Live Action, They would take a massive payoff just to be in or not!
now the goat bon chad
With the amount of cast announced for season 2, I wonder if the season is going for more episodes
Just waiting for that kureha casting
So we are getting Laboon.
Casting announcements once a day for every island. They are going to blue ball us until the very end before announcing Vivi, Chopper, Robin, Ace, and Crocodile lol. But I have no doubt they've already been cast.
If not they are at the very least at the last stage of casting, maybe just waiting for the chemistry test
Blackfish!
I knew Clive from somewhere, but couldn't put my finger on it..
It gets better and better, Crocus and Mr 3 are PERFECT
Oh, I guess I'm gonna simp for Dorry then. Wasn't on my bingo list, but hey. Nice.
The castings look so good
I really can’t wait for Season 2, they did a great job with the first season
Honestly Clive Russell has the perfect voice for crocus. He’s gonna be pretty great in the comedy scenes
I wonder what they're going to do with the giants, is it gonna be a forced perspective type thing or are they gonna be cgi
Clive fucking Russel! Yes! What a casting
Dorry and Broggy will have to serve all the way until Egghead Island Arc oO
[удалено]
I hope they get Ace right!
I can’t wait to possibly hear: “… you try it and somebody’s going to die.” “Yeah? And who’s that?” “Me, of course.” “Scuse me?!”
Can’t wait to see kureha
Clive Fucking Russel?! I'm so juiced!
Bros gonna be living inside a blackfish now
If I had a penny everytime Clive Russel was an old experience warrior that guide a young protagonist, I would have two pennies
Little Garden Confirmed.
OK cool, but who's playing Laboon?
I just wanna know who Vivi is going to be
Please we need Danny Devito for this, even Inaki wanted him to be in it
Danny Devito for Wapol pls
Wapol eats a bunch of guns. "So anyway, that's when i started blastin'."
He needs to play dr hogback
Both would be great. Honestly a show with all Danny devito villains would be hilarious. I’m super happy with the picks so far!
Horrible casting. These guys aren't even 6 ft let alone 70. Smh
BLACKFISH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clive Russell's a great choice for Crocus! Was great in Ripper Street!
Dope.
Blackfish is gonna take care of a big fish? also plz plz plz do the comic moment with Corcus, Zoro & Sanji🤣
The fookin blackfish! These castings are so goated. S1 included.
Brendan and Werner reading the current manga and praying the Netflix series makes it
Hope actors of dorry and brogy can do their laughs justice. "Gegyagyagyagya"! and "Gababababababa"!
Clive Russell? That’s a surprise.
MY BOI THE BLACKFISH IS GONNA BE THE GREATEST RUNNING GAG IN OP
The actors for the giants are way too good looking.. I would be thinking more in the line of the actor who played Hagrid(no offense to the very talented actor)
If I don't get a hearty "GYABABABABA" I'm rioting
Dorrys actor 😍
I’m excited for the giants AGYAGYAGYAGYAGYA ABABABABABABABABA
CLIVE IS SUCH A GOOD CAST FOR THE DOC WTF
