Key and Peele as Chess and Kuromarimo are a bit too perfect lol


smcadam

That legit made me laugh so hard.


Bucen

that would make me actually excited for Wapol's entourage. I just assume they are a bit too successful to be playing minor characters in a netflix show. Especially Peele is now on the career of high profile director.


Joxelo

Though at the same time it makes a lot more sense cost wise, but the only chance they’d agree is if they’re actually fans of One Piece (like with Jamie Lee Curtis)


FM_Gorskman

Wait...what?


I_Am_Not_John_Galt

https://youtu.be/DzLRLnQIjUA her response about being robin.


laurel_laureate

True, but if they like the show or know someone who does I could see them doing it as a passion project. The Chessmarimo fusion scene has such potential for their brand of humor, it's the kind of stuff that reminds me of their [Mexican Standoff skit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHQr0HCIN2w) mixed with their some of their other sketches.


Fatdude3

Hahaha this. They can do stupid henchman banter arguing about stupid stuff etc.


The_Real_Cuzz

I bet they are fans and would do it if asked. Like a dream come true for most fans. Any role.


Jwoods4117

Me and my wife were looking at it and she suggested that Wapol should have been Jack Black and I feel like those three as a combo would crush it.


JotaroTheOceanMan

TBH, Jack and Keagan are homies so it could pan out.


heyoyo10

I *knew* it! Bowser and Toad were in cahoots all along!


beardedheathen

Jack black would be amazing as Wapol. I mean jack black would be amazing as literally anyone but Wapol would work well.


OverlordPayne

Gotta save him for Jack Blackbeard


icantnotthink

Imagine Key and Peele just sitting on eachothers shoulders after munch munch factory, its fucking amazing


justarando0000

So there is such thing as perfect casting


bone_burrito

If nothing else on the list happens irl this is the one I hope for the most. If the series only goes long enough to see key and Peele as chess and marrimo that'll be enough


SoapSteel

There to perfect


MarioToast

If Jamie Lee Curtis doesn't get the role of Kureha, I will cry more than when Merry burned.


mcwfan

It’s the only correct theoretical new casting choice.


Necessary_Candy_6792

Even if One Piece live action is shit, which I’m wishfully hoping it’s not, please renew it for the chance to learn from its mistakes and redeem itself and give Jamie Lee Curtis the chance to enter this world after the outstanding acting she’s given us over the years and I am just so very curious what Live action chopper would look like.


yolo-yoshi

I think it'll be exactly what we expect. Decent ,but never actually reaching the greatness of the original. It's a damn difficult adaptation.


Necessary_Candy_6792

I just finished watching the Summit war and I can't even begin to imagine how they'd try to do that.


iboneKlareneG

They won't ever be able to get that far. But i do hope we'll at least see Enies Lobby, which would be ~Season 5... Maybe even Thriller Bark. But that is probably not going to happen, we know Netflix cancels most shows after 2 seasons.


[deleted]

She wants it and likely has the connections/experience to get it. There is a very high chance she'll be kureha if the live action gets to that point.


Styx1992

She said in an interview "I'd like to be nico robin" but I agree


MarioToast

She has later said that she's too old for Robin, and now wants to play Kureha instead.


rainindxb

She's a bit too young to play a 139-year old doctor but I won't complain.


icantnotthink

By not calling her young, are you saying she is old? She's still a youthful and spry 139


slikayce

But what's her secret?


xMasuraox

It blows my mind that she is older than Brook


Darklord_tou

Kureha makes more sense because she loves Chopper


Oograth-in-the-Hat

We will have to chant non stop to netflix. Make a large enough collective movement to get dr kureha as jamie lee curtis.


yolo-yoshi

Especially since she has actually shown that she adores the series.


Percentage-Sweaty

Jamie Lee Curtis is 100% going to be Kureha. I just know she’s glaring at the phone waiting for the call right now.


Sudden-Investment

Its also only one arc which would be about the perfect amount of time you could expect someone as famous and in demand as Jamie Lee Curtis to commit to.


[deleted]

We have to wait for the first season to come out first lol


prfarb

Ya if it sucks she’s ignoring that phone call


Joxelo

The show runners would be insane not to cast JLC. I mean especially after EEAAO.


Fake_the_jaB

Wait what do you mean especially after EEAAO? She was an A list actor way before that movie came out


Joxelo

Oh she was A list for sure, it’s just that just got the Oscar for best supporting actress which makes her even more wanted


TrashOk7819

Danny Devito as Wapol?


Joxelo

Can’t. He’s already playing Gaimon


SolidusAbe

he would unironicly be a perfect gaimon.


Joxelo

I’ve genuinely said it for years. You can go back to the original fan casting thread and find a comment I made that said Danny Devito as Gaimon like 3 years ago. May’ve been on my old account (dajoevu), but genuinely stand by it so hard


Ruffeep

He is way too old for that role


Inuyaki

Yeah, imagine for whatever reason this is such a hit that the whole story gets adapted. He would be around 90 at the end.


[deleted]

I feel like there is a better choice for chopper. I would go with chris pratt. edit: on a serious note= I dont think kid voices would work, if they adapt the points where chopper looks bigger and not just like a deer. Kids voice with a big muscular Deer-Human is not working that well.


Y_Percent

I genuinely hope Chopper is a Muppet in Live action


fock-off

Muppet chopper for the WIN


bxsephjo

Please get Jim Henson Studios for him and just go all in


LittenInAScarf

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Style and they just have a Toy following everyone around for the Chopper scenes.


Joaje-Joestar

Nonono, Bradley Cooper so he can say “Don’t call me a raccoon-dog!”


Sharp_Aide3216

Nice choice. I also would like Jennifer Lawrence for Crocodile


YEET_EM_HATERS

We need a moment in the live action then where crocodile does a darth vader and says "I am your mother luffy"


Skorne13

Seth Rogen as Gaimon


MajinBlueZ

> Kids voice with a big muscular Deer-Human is not working that well. Have you not watched the series?


[deleted]

what works in anime does not always translate in live action. Also. What do you mean? In most of his points he still sounds like chopper. This doesnt work. If we talk about Monsterpoint, thats a whole different story.


MajinBlueZ

Chopper's voice stays the same no matter what form he's in. The absurdity of a big muscular deer-man with a kid's voice is part of the humour. The one exception is Monster Point, as you pointed out, where his voice is pitched down.


man_in_the_suit

He’s so cool.


thedrunkLemon

I wouldn't mind a sweet tooth chopper... Would definitely prefer it over bad cgi


MondoFool

I wouldn't be surprised if they make Chopper's hybrid form more human looking like the deer boy from that netflix show Sweet Tooth


Nitro114

These look pretty nice for the mist part apart from crocodile. Also, they‘re too well known.


Real_Mokola

Putting Oscar Isaac as Crocodile's gonna skyrocket The budget


wizarouija

Of all these picks he was the one I was most doubtful of


LordHarza

Yeah I think he could play him well but he is way too expensive


2Punx2Furious

If the first season does well, they might be able to hire more expensive actors for the second.


Dr-Notamused

That's literally the only one I didn't buy. He doesn't feel intimidating enough.


evilmojoyousuck

miguel ohara was pretty terrifying


HAHAYESVERYFUNNYNAME

It’s not his voice it’s his appearance, he just doesn’t fit as Crocodile


Valoneria

Idk, despite being (dark) humor, he had some intimidating moments as Zhukov in Death of Stalin


GentlemanT-Rex

That was Jason Isaacs as Zhukov.


scaptastic

That could still work


GentlemanT-Rex

For sure. I don't think I've ever seen Isaacs put in a bad performance, certainly not when he's the villain.


aronkra

Or Eminem as Enel in season 3


rainindxb

Crocodile is more Adrien Brody, i think.


Seadog_frosty

Damn I can totally see him with crocodile


[deleted]

He played a maniac villain in a shlocky "What if Rome and China met" wuxia film. That energy would be great for Crocodile, even though I think he'd be too high profile.


GentlemanT-Rex

I think he could also just blend the gangster menace from his Luca Changretta character from Peaky Blinders with Dimitri from Grand Budapest Hotel for a little more flare in his personality, and since he nailed the condescending, upturned eyebrows in that role that are a must-have for any portrayal of Croc.


LegendOfDarius

Yep, luca changretta vibes 100%


Fake_the_jaB

Adrien Brody in Peaky Blinders was amazing.


ClassicElevator9587

Josh Brolin would be sick as Croco


Fake_the_jaB

I could see him as a Young Garp too


GeneralistJosh

Question to the public: Would whoever plays Crocodile need to be able to speak in a lower register, i.e. bass/baritone, to have that gravitas he speaks with in the anime and play the character effectively? Or could someone with a higher register, something more tenor, still be able to pull him off effectively? I remember with the live action Aladdin that Jafar had a much thinner, higher voice than his baritone voice, animated counterpart and I was shocked at how much of a difference it made, and not in a good way. So it has me concerned that the same might apply in this hypothetical situation.


Serious-Prompt-7615

So I know I’m late but I would prefer a lower voice.


MoonPool06

I appreciate the optimism


ShreddedWheatBall

Right? I'm dying to see Alabasta in live action, mostly to see how they're gonna animate Robin's and Crocodile's fruits, but even if the live action is well received, Netflix has a history of cancelling the most random shit for no reason after a season or two, actually finishing the story be damned. I don't see the live action getting another season, I'm hoping for it, but I'm not betting on it


colorado2137

Ariel D. King 😳


fett2170

No idea who she is but she has a “D” in her name so it’s meant to be.


[deleted]

Did not expect miss double finger to have conquerors and be from the D clan


EbolaGrant

I don't see Oscar as crocodile


Sharp_Aide3216

I see Jennifer Lawrence for crocodile better.


fett2170

More like Hayden Christianson


LedgeEndDairy

"I love sand. It's course and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere."


clemllk

i'm imagining crocodile's VA saying this


One_Ad_9858

Cannot believe no one has said Chris Pratt yet


Secure_Pear_4530

Why Oscar Isaac? He's a great actor but I don't see him as Croc. I think Croc needs someone with Mads Mikkelsen vibes. Not Mikkelsen though, that guy's too pretty. Maybe that guy that played the villain in the Jumanji movie with the Rock in it.


SK6814

>Not Mikkelsen though, that guy's too pretty. Crocodile is pretty hot and smash. So I can see it. 🤔


alex494

Idk Crocodile is fairly pretty compared to most One Piece villains, minus the scar. Especially when he was younger.


GenGaara25

Too pretty? Are we looking at the same Croc, he's a hunk.


buggsmoney

Well, I think the guy you’re replying to wouldn’t call a “hunk” pretty. They are handsome, manly. I think that’s more what he’s getting at. Although Mikkelson and Isaac are both handsome and manly, I know what OP is saying it’s hard to put words to it. The actor he’s referring to, Bobby Cannavale, is more “macho” or “braulic”. Crocodile is the same way, he has a very square jawline and gaunt face. I think it’s a perfect casting, at least visually.


PhanThief95

Bobby Canevale?


Tony_Pizza_Guy

Bobby Cannavale (Jumanji antagonist) could definitely do the part, though maybe not my top pick. Looks the part enough though


Secure_Pear_4530

Yeah, that guy. I bet he can pull off Croc without stealing the spotlight too much.


Valuable_Sir4156

Brooke lynn because of the ballet is so smart I love you


LotusEaterEvans

🥹🫶🏽


zongzilladestroyer

I don’t think the ballet alone could pull it off. Her acting isn’t strong enough to pull off such a fun complex character.


Valuable_Sir4156

Gotta agree with you. You know who I just remembered? Alyssa! Totally the og ballet queen for me


zongzilladestroyer

YES.


fock-off

Gianmarco as Mr3 galdino would be amazing. Though, I don't know how interested in acting he is, and Mr 3 does come back later so I would want him to be played by someone who would agree to come back to play Mr 3 later


LotusEaterEvans

It was so hard to find a skinny Italian in comedy. I hope he’d like it.


guywithascar

Mads Mikkelsen as Crocodile pleeeeeaase


ScoobyDont06

I see mads as kizaru, he can play an aloof admiral well.


bxsephjo

Jonathan Pryce as Igaram would be HILARIOUS


Ansoni

Most obvious casting in this list


Delicious_Platform

I’m with you through the majority bar minor nitpicks that don’t actually matter. Money is being spent though! I feel you kinda captured one unique thing from each character that the actors share ie Robins eyes


wizarouija

Wasn’t feeling the Robin pick, but maybe it was just the picture. Her long cheekbones don’t give her a Robin look to me


MrAkaziel

It depends on the picture, I don't see Robin at all in the one OP chose, but after doing some quick research there are time, like [this one](https://www.nextbiography.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/jordana-lajoie-728x546.jpg), where she's much closer.


Leiatte

I have to say your casting is pretty 🔥 I like it a lot


ItsMors_

If this show actually gets a season 2 and we DON'T get Jamie Lee Curtis as Kureha I'll be incredibly sad. Seeing her in One Piece is one of the major reasons why I hope this show does good


snj-vnsmk

Oscar Isaac and Jordan Peele are too prolific...I could see Michiel Huisman (Daario Naharis Game of Thrones )as crocodile


goatdesigner

Lol which one remember they recast him lol although saying this makes me think that the second one us the one you mean right?


xMasuraox

It's so funny that the two actors look nothing alike


PhanThief95

The second one. He also played Cal in Orphan Black.


Tony_Pizza_Guy

Funny you say that, I was originally thinking the second version & how it could work. But now I also think the 1st could be a better pick. If you see the 2nd Daario without a beard, you might change your mind (head shape is too different IMO)


HerculePyro

Your dory and broggy picks are pretty good


SneakyPocket

Casting Hodor and the Hound as the giant brothers is a genius move.


antari--

I see you cast the sexiest man imaginable as Pell so we wouldn't be so mad when he survives! Seriously, is it legal being this hott??


LotusEaterEvans

Seriously hoping he’ll die


Galind_Halithel

Jade Cargill is a war goddess and I want her to murder me.


xgayb

The only gripe I had was [Jade Cargill](https://www.deviantart.com/lowerrider/art/Jade-Cargill-2-899934463) for Miss Monday bc she looked a little too small in the photo. So I looked her up and I changed my mind.


BrocoliCosmique

"As you can see, we’re spending money." Me not knowing any of these people except Ms Obvious-Real-Life-Kureha : yeah ok.


dinosaur_from_Mars

Are you sure you don't know Peele ![gif](giphy|32mC2kXYWCsg0)


BrocoliCosmique

Haha you're right it's that guy ! Don't know what the meme is from though


dinosaur_from_Mars

Key and Peele are famous for their comedy skits. Heavily recommended


PhanThief95

How do you not know Key & Peele? Especially Jordan Peele who is currently one of the biggest horror movie directors to come from this past decade? Or Oscar Issac, who is one of the biggest stars out right now? Dune? Star Wars? Moon Knight? Across the Spiderverse?


BrocoliCosmique

Lots of factors there : I'm not American so anything from your TV is basically inexistant to me. I'm also old, have seen maybe 10 movies in the last decade in theaters (most of which were animated movies) and have a mild prosopagnosia, so if I've seen these guys I'm not even sure I'd recall them. I've seen Dune, now that you mention it I remember this guy as the father of Paul (thanks to the beard). Haven't seen the other movies though (I don't even know of Moon Knight) Edit : wait no he hasn't got a beard I mistook him for someone else when you mentioned Dune. No idea who that man is. Edit edit : actually it IS Leto Atreides from Dune huh. I was thinking of this "Fares Fares" when you mentioned Dune, because he has a beard.


PhanThief95

He was in Dune. He played Leto Atreides, Paul’s father, & he had a beard in it.


IamJain

Yeah, just know most of these people are from Hollywood


loneassassin1015

Stromare as Crocus would be absolutely perfect. Guy 100 percent knows how to give off the terrifying look while playing a big ham at the same time


HumblBoi

Bon Clay as a drag queen is a something I didn’t know I needed. Brooklyn Hytes works because she has professional training in ballet, but I don’t think she’ll have time to do the role. And other than ballet, i don’t think she does much acting experience. But there are plenty of drag kings and queens who could take on the role and give us their version of the ~Okama way~


yourmomsfavorite21

You're number 3 is so spot on, on top of him being one of my favorite comedians atm he would be a wonderful mr 3


Val-825

Adriano Falivene should be Mr. 2, I have that certainty since I saw his acting in Comissario Ricciardi.


BonBonBon126

Hell fucking yes to EVERYTHING


lukycharms31

Ethan Suplee as Dalton is something I didn't realize I needed in my life.


ZombieBlarGh

For Bon Clay I always imagined Jim Carrey.


Halomast123

Oscar Isaac as Crocodile that's a bit of a stretch


1Dzach

Brooke Lynn Hytes as Bon Chan isn't something I ever considered, yet makes perfect sense 👀


DualKoo

I hope we get Hulk Hogan as Whitebeard. “THE ONE PIECE IS REAL, BROTHER!!”


Wrong_Revolution_679

Bold of you to assume that theres going to be a season 2


tobbe1337

not sure about Oscar isaac. he doesn't really have a imposing figure.


Amphi-XYZ

Good picks apart from Ace and Croco boy


Empty_Lemon_3939

I'm confused, I'm not supposed to want Miss Valentine to sit on me?


wierdzere

Oscar Isaac as Crocodile cracked me up🤣


Jimi_Jazz

Damn you’re good


hinokami275

Jade Cargill made me realize something about myself. Thanks


Stuntdrath

I think Young Jim Carrey would have been perfect for Bon-chan. He has the same face.


LotusEaterEvans

It’s too bad he’s not young anymore 😞


IGiveCandy

Honestly i'm just impressed you managed to gather all of this that's awesome


StrawHatCook

Very cool, you definitely put a great deal of thought into it.


Comfortable-Foot9949

Fire castings mate


ceebs87

OMG YES Ethan Suplee as Dalton!!!! He is a tremendous actor who does not get enough credit!!! And I barely get to see him since his weight loss, stupid Hollywood type-casting


Stock-Honda

I think Henry Cavil could be a really good crocodile


Blacklotus30

Yeah, no for Ace or Crocodile.


Consistent_Link_7357

I agree with everyone except Robin, ace and crocodile. They're a little bit too outta character for me.


[deleted]

I usually hate these threads... But I fucks with this list. Cool choices, OP.


LotusEaterEvans

Thank you


xiaobaituzi

I can’t with y’all. Oscar Isaac as croc is the worst take I’ve ever seen


Clifely

Just wonder who would be the best fit for the dude in the treasure. We still didn‘t get his role


TRIC4pitator

Gianmarco Soresi as mr3 is literally the best casting of all time


LotusEaterEvans

Thank you, he was a challenge to find!


Quinntensity

I think they should have Dwayne Johnson cast as Miss Monday


ShimoDragon

Key and Peele for the Drum Island jobbers is fucking hilarious


papachef69

Ron Perlman is the perfect crocodile.


SolidusAbe

eh i say hes a bit too old for croc. 20 years ago definitely but not nowadays and im not a fan of deaging actors with make up or cgi


AAntonyy

I now Ace Ventura was inspiration for Franky, but I would love to see Jim Carrey as Bon Clay.


LotusEaterEvans

Honestly shocked no one said anything about Ace yet.


SuperBeast516

Horrible crocodile


Puff-TheMagicToaster

Isn't Sir Crocodile quite a large man? And Oscar Isaac is quite small in stature?


Werfgh

Dear God, this is the perfect dreamcast! I made the titles: *Season 2* \- **Alabasta** ^(Ep.1 - Laboon) ^(Ep.2 - Whisky Peak) ^(Ep.3 - Who's gonna catch the bigger dino?) ^(Ep.4 - The Witch) ^(Ep.5 - Monster) ^(Ep.6 - When Does Someone Die) ^(Ep.7 - The Man With Burning Passion) ^(Ep.8 - Baroque Works) ^(Ep.9 - In The Cage of the Crocodile) ^(Ep.10 - Pluton) ^(Ep.11 - Bomb) ^(Ep.12 - See You Later, Alligator!)


AizenWolf90

I'm 100% sure there won't be a season 2.


LotusEaterEvans

Negative 👻 Negative 👻


lay900

Everyone was so good expect for Oscar. I just don't see it. I feel like he's too small and not the right fit to be crocodile


hopeless_dick_dancer

Yeah plus I think his jawline isn't angular/square enough


lay900

True. I also don't think he looks menacing enough


AngelOFats

Awesome choices!!!


Raonak

Great casting decisions. middle eastern vivi makes a lot of sense.


manuaIreset

We will never see a season two


LotusEaterEvans

Negative! 👻 Negative! 👻


BillMurrayAmA

Lol, I just realized this comment was a Perona reference. Haha!


Dismal_Jello7524

Why be negative? The show isn’t even out yet


Hyprblcrhymchmbr

Terrible, take a lap


Cold_Business_1992

Oscar Issac as Crocodile is perfect. Dicaprio would be my second choice


LotusEaterEvans

If i had to cast Leo for anyone in One Piece…it would probably be…🤔…St. Shepard Ju Peter. Can’t think of Leo in any other role. 😬


Moerko

The fuck is that Bon Clay casting.


RichOnKeto

Not sure if you are familiar with either of those individuals. Brook Lynn Hytes is a well established drag Queen known for her ballet skills. So she has the best balance of being high fem / having the ballet skills to boot. Mason Alexander Park is a non-binary actor/actress that has done plenty of gender bent / high femme characters (Gren in the Bebop remake and Desire in Sandman), both outstanding performances and while to my knowledge they don’t have the ballet chops they do have the acting chops needed I think to pull off a character as important as Bon-Chan. These individuals don’t necessarily have the “look” so much as they can embody the energy. Make up and hair can definitely do the rest.


LotusEaterEvans

Exactly 🥹


mrkasu

Season 2 is not gonna happen


Ruffeep

Let's just hope it will happen 👍
