Joe Manganiello Joins One Piece as Crocodile; Nico Robin Also Cast - Main Image

The first season of Netflix’s live-action One Piece had covered (and compressed) the first East Blue Saga, and the second season is ready to bring the characters to the desert of Arabasta.

It had been teased that the crew will be going up against Baroque Works’ Mr. 0/Crocodile this time, and the show has managed to nab one A-list talent who also turns out to be a massive geek.

Key Baroque Works Members have been Cast

Though Netflix hasn’t made the official announcement themselves yet, it has been revealed online that Joe Manganiello (who also hosted this year’s Geeked Week for Netflix) is going to be playing Baroque Works’ leader Mr. 0/Crocodile.

One Piece stands as one of the rare live-action manga adaptations that won over longtime fans and newcomers alike, perfectly capturing the fun, optimistic vibe of the long-running manga by Eiichiro Oda. When last we saw Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and his misfit crew of pirates, they were just setting out for the Grand Line in their quest to find the legendary One Piece treasure. Suffice to say, the anticipation is sky high for season 2.

And now, we've got some exciting new One Piece updates! According to What's On Netflix, both Joe Mangiello (True Blood) and Lera Abova (Anna) have joined the cast of the series for its second season. This news came directly from Netflix's Tudum site, which republished a preview...

Mangianello and Abova join previously announced new cast members Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday, Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha, Mark Harelik as Dr. Hiriluk, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefertari Cobra, Brendan Sean Murray as Brogy, Callum Kerr as Smoker, Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5, Clive Russell as Crocus, Daniel Lasker as Mr. 9, David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine, Julia Rehwald as Tashigi, Rob Colletti as Wapol, Ty Keogh as Dalton and Werner Coetser as Dorry.

Netflix’s Tudum website accidentally revealed on Sep 19, 2024, that Joe Manganiello will be playing the notorious Mr. 0, also known as Crocodile, and Lera Abova has been cast as Miss All Sunday, better known as Nico Robin, in the upcoming second season of One Piece Live-action series.

The casting slip-up was noticed when Netflix Tudum republished its season 2 preview alongside a newly released set tour conducted by Jeff Ward.

The update included an additional photo in their cast slideshow and the names of Manganiello and Abova in the article’s excerpt.

While the announcement likely wasn’t meant to go live until Netflix’s Geeked Week event, fans quickly caught on and the news has been making rounds on social media.

Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), who's on a quest to claim the mythical One Piece treasure and become king of the pirates. Live-action adaptations of manga and anime don't always turn out well, but One Piece's first season was the rare exception that pleased fans of the original source material, newcomers and critics alike.

One Piece...

Netflix is about two months into filming the second season of One Piece, according to Deadline. The first season of One Piece, based on the world-famous manga by Eiichiro Oda, was a big hit when it landed in 2023; bucking the trend of so many anime-to-live-action adaptations, it preserved the loopy elasticity of the animated original while still taking viewers on a rip-roaring journey that worked well in live-action. Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), Zoro (Mackenyu), Nami (Emily Rudd), Usopp (Jacob Romero) and Sanji (Taz Skylar) will all return as the crew travels into the dangerous Grand Line to fulfill Luffy's quest of finding the One Piece treasure and becoming king of the pirates.

The first issue of One Piece was released back in 1997 and it's still going, so there's a lot of story to cover. The second season is set to cover the Arabasta saga, taking our heroes to places like Loguetown,...

Season 2 of Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s world-famous manga One Piece (you can read our 6/10 review of the first season Here) is already a couple months deep into its production, and one character that fans have been eagerly looking forward to seeing in the new episodes is Dr. Kureha. Many were also hoping to see Jamie Lee Curtis bring the character to life, and Curtis let it be known that she would be lobbying to play the part… but it didn’t work out. Deadline reports that Curtis wasn’t able to fit the show into her schedule, since working on it would have required her to spend a couple of months in South Africa, where filming is taking place. So instead of Curtis, the role has gone to Katey Sagal, who is best known for the roles she has played on Married… with Children, 8 Simple Rules,...

Netflix’s One Piece has locked in two more actors for key Season 2 roles. In one of the series’ highest profile castings to date, Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy) has been tapped to play Dr. Kureha. Mark Harelik (Presumed Innocent) is set to play Dr. Hiriluk in an almost perfect actor-character last name homonym.

The introduction of Dr. Kureha has been among the most anticipated elements about Season 2 of the live-action series based on Oda’s beloved manga. Jamie Lee Curtis had been approached for the role and wanted to do it, but as One Piece EPs Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements told Deadline last month, her schedule did not allow it.

Adelstein and Clements teased at the time that “we have found an amazing person” to play Dr. Kureha. That...

In a statement shared by Eiichiro Oda on Aug 20, it was revealed that the much anticipated One Piece Live-Action season 2 will cover Loguetown, Reverse Mountain (Twin Cape), Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island.

Fans of the series will recognize Loguetown as the town where Gol D. Roger was executed, Reverse Mountain as the gateway to the Grand Line, and Drum Island as the setting where Tony Tony Chopper joins the Straw Hat Pirates.

Additionally, fans were relieved that the showrunners were not trying to squeeze in Alabasta arc into the Second Season of the live action.

While Oda expressed excitement at how the production of the show was ongoing, he also joked about the considerable costs involved in bringing these beloved arcs and settings to life.

Despite the challenges, Oda reassured fans that the integrity of the story was a top priority for the team.

While praising the...

In a recent interview with Deadline, Marty Adelstein, CEO of Tomorrow Studios, and Becky Clements, President of the company, confirmed that Jamie Lee Curtis will not be joining the cast for One Piece Live-Action Season 2.

Despite Jamie’s keen interest in taking up the role of Doctor Kureha and excitement among fans, scheduling conflicts have prevented her from joining the series.

“She loves the show,” Clements stated. “She has too many films and TV shows that she’s going into production on, so our production dates aren’t going to work. She definitely wanted to do it but she’s got deals in first position, and it just became complicated.“

The production team has, however, reassured fans that the role of Kureha will still be brought to life in season 2, and that they have found a suitable replacement

One Piece is a rare success for Netflix. After a string of failed anime adaptations like Cowboy Bebop and Death Note, it's more than nice to see the streaming giant produce not just a decent, but an impressive adaptation.

One of the main ingredients for the project's success was the show's cast: with rare exceptions, the images turned out to be surprisingly accurate. Especially noteworthy are Iñaki Godoy, playing Luffy, and Jeff Ward, playing Buggy.

Godoy seems to have been born for the role of the future pirate king: it is almost impossible to imagine anyone else in the role, as the young actor managed to convey the endless optimism and passion for justice that Luffy is famous for.

But Ward's role as the clown pirate Buggy differs from the original source: in the Netflix version, he seems much more sinister and dangerous, which only works to the character's advantage.

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s magnum opus, One Piece, has once again shocked the entire fandom by introducing a new actor who will soon join the cast of the series for the second season. The series’ creators recently unveiled a list of actors who will be portraying the members of the Baroque works, and now a new member has joined the adventure.

The creators of the One Piece live-action adaptation have revealed that they have found the perfect actor to play the role of Crocus, the doctor of the Roger Pirates, and the current caretaker of Laboon. The role will be played by none other than Clive Russell, the prominent actor who portrayed Brynden Tully in HBO’s Game of Thrones.

While fans wait for that announcement, Variety has reported on the casting of several villains in the upcoming season. Daniel Lasker, known from Raised by Wolves, has been cast to play Mr. 9, Batwoman’s Camrus Johnson will be added to season 2 as Mr. 5, Jazzara Jaslyn, who can be seen in Warrior, will be playing Miss Valentine and Late Night With the Devil star David Dastmalchian will be portraying the role of Mr.

For a long time, Hollywood struggled to nail live-action adaptations of beloved animes, with some infamous examples being Dragonball Evolution and The Last Airbender. Fortunately, Netflix finally broke the cycle by pumping out One Piece, which, unlike the majority of its kind, was faithful to the source material and became one of the platform’s most-watched originals.

With season 2 of the Iñaki Godoy-led series expected to hit sometime in 2025, some major names have now been added to the cast, including David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3.

In addition to Godoy, the series also stars Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji.

Veteran Warner Bros. Television casting executive Findley Davidson has departed the studio after 15 years, most recently as head of New York casting. She has launched her own, New York-based independent casting office, Findley Davidson Casting, which will offer casting services for film, television, and theatre.

Davidson, who joined Wbtv in 2008, was made VP and head of the studio’s New York casting office in 2019, following the retirement of VP Meg Simon after a 40-year career. I hear Wbtv will maintain some casting presence in New York though it is not expected to be at the level of the past. The studio’s parent Warner Bros. Discovery has been in a cost-cutting mode post-merger, and casting is one of the areas where the company has scaled back, including the elimination of the HBO Max casting department in favor of adopting HBO’s model that involves using casting directors on individual shows.

From the outset, the CW’s Batwoman series was one of the better offerings, thanks to a strong visual sensibility and a winning performance from Rachel Skarsten as the damaged Alice. And like every other Arrowverse show, it threatened to suffer from character bloat by the end of its second season. Thankfully, supernumerary characters and plot points were jettisoned and Javicia Leslie, as Ryan Wilder, made Batwoman her own character after Ruby Rose’s departure.

Season three, therefore, offered a lot of promise and across thirteen episodes we saw the show flirt with good, solid storytelling, too often succumbing to mind-numbing plot holes and illogic. It suffered from being hampered by the idiotic notion that Circe could waltz into the Batcave and make off with Batman’s greatest rogue weapons, all neatly fitting into a duffel bag.

On top of everything, Ryan will have to battle these villains with Alice by her side! As a new generation of Rogues torments Gotham,...
