As the One Piece manga continues to advance with unexpected revelations and the animated series leaves fans perplexed with its great animation, the live-action produced by Netflix continues to advance at its own pace. A few days ago, the company revealed the arrival of a long-awaited pirate, and now we have been able to meet seven other characters who will join the project.
According to the page What’s on Netflix, an expert in the series produced by the company, the platform has begun the search for seven actors and actresses to play important characters in the live-action series, in addition to the requirements that must be met by performers interested in these roles:
| character | RACE | AGE REQUIRED |
|---|---|---|
| Princess Vivi | Middle East/North Africa or South Asia | Between 17 and 20 years |
| Robin | Hispanic/Latina | Between 20 and 39 years |
| Smoker | White | Between 25-35 years |
| Tashigi | Asian | Between 20 and 29 years |
| Miss Valentine | White | Between 20 and 29 years |
| Mr. 5 | Black | Between 20 and 29 years |
| crocus | Any | Between 65 and 79 years |
In these castings, the search for someone Latina or Hispanic for the role of Robin, a character who, according to Oda, is originally from Russia. On the other hand, the case of Vivi, whose appearance in the original work is paler and whiter; However, given her origin in Alabasta, it is understandable that in live-action they look for an actress from this region.
It is relevant to note the absence of other important characters in the series, such as Ace or Crocodile, who play significant roles in this arc. However, it is possible that they have already chosen the right actor for both, as happened with Jamie Lee Curtis for the role of Doctor Kureha. The second season of One Piece is scheduled to be released sometime in 2025.
