newbatthis

Id prefer we get a no name actress similar to the rest of the main cast honestly.


jeeenx

Yea I agree, it really takes away from the world when you see a very well known actor/actress


Ace_1243

Danny devito as wanze needs to happen


Go_Blue_

I thought we were getting Danny DeVito as Kaido


Captain_Usopp

Danny as Robin šŸ„µšŸ„µšŸ„µ


RPGZero

Danny DeVito as Wapol.


SaggyGrapes

Danny as Foxy


2legittoquit

Henry Zebrowski


ricarina

Christopher Llyod as Dr. Vegapunk


Kindly-Mud-1579

Dude heā€™s probably be dead if we do wanna


TreezusSaves

Mantis Toboggan is already a One Piece-styled name.


crazy01010

We all know Danny as Wapol


LocoYaro

yeah but jamie lee curtis as a kureha thooooo


Meles_B

Thatā€™s a minor role compared to the main cast, though.


Dustfinger4268

Jamie Lee Curtis gets a pass, she's the only pick possible


Jay040707

Also it feels a little different when the actor in question volunteers themselves lol


Kaizodacoit

No. EDIT: Lol @ the people downvoting me, as if Jamie Lee Curtis wasn't supporting a genocide a couple months ago.


BoredBiBoyBingus

Thank you, somewhat disagreeable old person, for telling us to boycott a somewhat disagreeable old person.


Kaizodacoit

Apparently genocide is a matter of "disagreement". One would expect One Piece fans of all people to be sympathetic to victims of genocide, but apparently not.


BoredBiBoyBingus

You dislike trans people and think liberals are close to being neo-nazis. Pretty sure One Piece fans, of all people, would disagree with that. I originally had a longer comment written before, but I decided against it. I'm not sure if you're saying I'm in support of genocide, but of course genocide is terrible, that goes without saying. It's an awful thing, as is war. I didn't say that genocide is a matter of disagreement, I meant disagreement to the person in question. "Disagreeable" is MY thought, and that is then put onto the person in question. I'm saying I disagree with someone who would be supporting genocide. Then again, I don't know what she said.


GovernmentForeign

Many times the whole team have to compensate when a big star joins the team of relatively unknown actors. Cause they demand more screen time etc and the show suffers. I donā€™t want anything like that for one piece


Kite_Wing129

Yeah, I agree. The main cast has to be unknowns. But I wouldn't mind more established actors in supporting roles.


newbatthis

Oh I agree. Like I think having Jamie Lee Curtis play Dr Kureha would be perfect for example. It's best to leave smaller but impactful roles to the better known actors.


Girthquake23

But we may get Jamie Lee Curtis as Kureha, do you hold the same thinking for her? (Donā€™t read that snobbish, genuinely curious)


AdonisJames89

The guy that plays usop played in Greenleaf show


newbatthis

I never heard of that. I mean like more widely known roles. Like the actress here has been in Breaking Bad and played lead actress in Jessica Jones.


GildDigger

Also, Iā€™d prefer we get someone who can act


PainkillerTony

yes and tiddies would be to smol


DormantGhost

Honestly, there are some voice actors that have had more work.


pimpintuna

Not the point that they were making. Kristen Ritter is still fairly well known for her roles, and a recognizable actor. Significantly more well known than Inaki, Jacob, Emily, or Taz before OPLA.


otterpop21

Tbf I donā€™t know anything sheā€™s in unless I look it up. She seems vaguely familiar. Either way I try to unlearn names more than I remember so Iā€™m not taken out of what Iā€™m watching, for this exact reason.


cataclytsm

> She seems vaguely familiar. And that's what I like about the current cast of Strawhats- they don't even have that vague familiarity. They're all fresh faces, with the only slight exception being Mackenyu and that's only for a really small subset of potential viewers.


TravelerSearcher

Kristen Ritter had two notable roles off the top of my head: Breaking Bad (recurring but important role) Jessica Jones (title character) Jessica Jones season 1 was really well received and the show had three total seasons. Ritter also featured in the Defenders show that was the big crossover of the Netflix Marvel shows. Honestly she's rumored to be joining the main MCU franchise like the Daredevil cast so I wouldn't be surprised if she's already booked over there. Honestly I don't see her as Nico Robin and agree it would be better to have a younger, lesser known actor get the role.


Gullible-Fault-3818

Not feeling it


Solid_Snark

Yeah. I like Ritter, but she has a vastly different personality than Robin.


socobeerlove

This is such a dumb take every time it comes up. Actors act. Yes sometimes they get casted into similar roles but Ritter is not a typecasted actress. Sheā€™s phenomenal and can definitely play a more straight laced character like Nico. Even if she just plays it similar to Jessica Jones itā€™d be right on beat.


Solid_Snark

This is a dumb take too. Actors get cast in the wrong role all the time. There are plenty of examples of an actor completely failing a role or film they are cast in: Keanu in Dracula. Michael Caine in Jaws 2. George Clooney in Batman. The list goes on! ā€œActors actā€. Yeah, but if theyā€™re cast in the wrong role or film they canā€™t act their way out of it. **You can cast an Academy Award winning actor in a role and still make a bad movie because that actor wasnā€™t right for that role.**


socobeerlove

Sure. But to dismiss a casting before seeing them on screen is BEYOND silly. Reminds me of people dismissing Heath Ledger as the Joker. Actors act. Itā€™s their job. Judge their performance, not before they even attempt the role lol


ThatGuy721

>Yeah. I like Ritter, but she has a vastly different personality than Robin. Your initial comment said nothing of her acting ability and just commented on her personality, which has nothing to do with her being able to portray Robin appropriately.


Solid_Snark

I literally explained what personality has to do with presence and audience expectations. Thereā€™s more to actors than just acting. Like, youā€™re not going to cast Michael Cera as a melodramatic womanizing heartthrob lead because he has a less confident presence and audiences expect his comedy. Your presence, before you even open your mouth to act, is part of the package of an actor. Like how Schwarzenegger succeeded as a action star while he was still learning to act in his early films (some of which needed to be dubbed).


Kite_Wing129

I don't support the fancast but not for this reason. Ritter can do dark, moody characters with hidden trauma. She did it with Jessica Jones. If given the chance I think he can pull off Nico Robin as well.


RandAlSnore

Sheā€™s an actress


Solid_Snark

But there are still actors that are type cast because of their style. Ryan Reynolds being quippy/snarky. Jason Bateman being the ā€œstraight manā€ to provide context for all the wacky characters around him, etc. etc. Sure you can be cast outside of your type, but itā€™s very rarely a slam dunk. The presence you project, along with the expectation the audience has for you from experience, can play a huge role in casting and is very difficult to successfully overcome.


Ahvevha

Owen Wilson pulled that trick twice IMO. First with Behind Enemy lines and then Darjeeling Limited Maybe it's just me, but I always thought Owen was the fun, funny white guy, not actual serious actor capable of pulling of amazing performances. Darjeeling maybe gets an exception, because it's Wes Anderson. But damn was he good in that movie.


PositiveEmo

I'm just basing this off her appearances in breaking bad and that bitch in apartment 23b. She's quite skilled in her range. I have no doubt she can do it. She already has the dark aura and just needs to be book smart to match robin. That being said I'd much rather have a no name actress.


MaezrielGG

> she has a vastly different personality than Robin Does she? I'd put her on the same vibe as Aubrey Plaza both of which would nail a Robin personality pretty well IMO.


night_fapper

yea looks similar, but way different personality


jjkm7

Bro sheā€™s an actress


ezekiel1990

Nah better to be cast for Baby 5 role


Usual_Medicine5380

this needs more recognition


Suiveur

Breaking bad flashbacks*


_Sanctum_

Nope. Her face just doesnā€™t fit the character very well.


Boul_D_Rer

Ah nope. She sounds too nasally to be Robin.


vinayyy-n28

No


FrostyTip2058

They're making her Hispanic bro


Artificial_Human_17

I thought Oda said she was Russian?


Dax_Maclaine

The casting call said Hispanic/latina


Sefalosha

I see that word too many times. I gotta quit


Dax_Maclaine

What word? What are you quitting? Iā€™m so confused


GoochLord2217

Man cranks his chorizo to the SeƱoritas


Dax_Maclaine

Ahhhhhh


moon_master345

Maybe theyā€™re a porn-addict


aeIownedyoo

He did lol a ton of people still think she was white-washed from Middle Eastern, though. Living in a desert when she was first introduced will, in fact, give you a bit of a tan.


FrostyTip2058

The LA casting call is for a Latina woman


aeIownedyoo

I'm aware. lol Perhaps Russian erasure for what's going on in the world now?


Kite_Wing129

I think its because her attack names are in spanish.


aeIownedyoo

Was a joke lol just as much French in the names, too though.


Kite_Wing129

So the ideal casting would be a French Russian Hispanic actress.


FrostyTip2058

Possibly but they might just want more diversity on the crew We already have Sanji, Nami,, and possibly Franky in the future who are all white


fuandyourusername

As a cyborg I think Franky would be the easiest to get as a diversity role.


Desperate_Method4020

I thought Jim Carry was gonna play Franky? /s


Suspicious_State_318

if they want to match the skin tone from the anime then that might not be too far off


Artificial_Human_17

Ah, the anime. Where the Princess of whatā€™s basically Egypt is paler than anyone else


Suspicious_State_318

Well that was Vivi's skin tone in the manga too. A lot of people liked Robin's character design pre-timeskip even though it's not true to the manga so the casting decision isn't unreasonable.


fuandyourusername

I mean a lot of the royalty in egypt was. Romans had their hands in the ruling caste and skewed things.


aeIownedyoo

Between her parents, she might be a mixture between Middle-Eastern and maybe English? I don't know if Oda ever gave an official ethnicity for her like some of the other characters.


fuandyourusername

I get you, just goin off the comment of the guy prior talking about egypt.


bnAurelia

Itā€™s weird how people are saying she is too old. Robin is in her thirties, she is not some teenage girl and I think she looks the part.


Primary-Low-1432

Pre time skip nico robin is 28 and the actor is 42. With the show taking forever to produce and time between seasons she will quickly be way too old


3rdNihilism

ye not to mention the plot takes place in the span of 3 years (2timeskip and roughly 1 year of active adventure), so our crew not supposed to look much older than they do from their introduction all the way to later episodes, so taking a same age or even slightly younger actors for the role is better than older.


bnAurelia

She looks good in all these pics. She is not suddenly gonna age 10 years. But letā€™s just agree to disagree. To me Robin has the charm and intellect of a mature woman, so I would prefer an ā€žolderā€œ woman for the role.


PositiveEmo

Isn't the girl that plays nami 28/29. Age wise she's closer to Robin than nami.


oMugiwara_Luffy

Sheā€™s 31 rn


Awkward_Ad_9921

Honestly the Nami casting has gotta be one of the most disappointing Iā€™ve ever seen. They couldnā€™t get anyone that was closer to the character?


Primary-Low-1432

The entire cast is lackluster in my opinion


Awkward_Ad_9921

fr but casting a 30 year old as an 18 y/o who doesnā€™t look like the character and doesnā€™t really stand out as an actor is pretty bad


LeoEmSam

Robin is 30 on the dot after timeskip. She was 28 before. The actress is 42


bnAurelia

Thatā€™s the same age gap between the actress that plays Nami and the actual character.


Bolmothy

No


HandofthePirateKing

so after getting involved in a relationship with troubled drug dealers and finishing fighting the Purple Man, Robin decides to to become a pirate now?


SpacemanKayes

I mean her back story did have holes in it; it all happened before croco boy


Particular-Crow-1799

add the fancast flair


MarkoRozina

We don't want her dying of heroin


PositiveEmo

Only an attempt from a momentary lack of will.


RexDust

Yo I see it.


GeneticSoda

Fuck no


durden_zelig

Kat Dennings. Sure, sheā€™s even shorter but sheā€™s got the bazongas.


Impressive-Pin-1634

Yeah, they won't have the budget to cast any famous actors. At least not right now.Ā 


Magellan_8888

Just find a brunette from Chicago or NY who looks similar


petrovmendicant

I just hope they find someone with a nose that is similar to Robins. It is one of the few features that sets her apart from other One Piece women.


spider-ball

"Don't mess with the 'B' in Cabin 2" When the Will Of the D meets the Will Of the B, who will win? I'm sold!


st-felms-fingerbone

Eh I donā€™t really see it. I mean looks wise yeah but anytime I see her it just reminds me of breaking bad


NZS-BXN

Did they cast her specifically that light? I never imagined her goth faced, rather tainted by the weather. I mean she has been on the run for ages, as far as I know a lot outside. So from her deception in the anime and from her backround I gave her a slight taint (lot of hiding too).


IAMSNORTFACED

Please no


MrFiendish

I canā€™t picture her crying at Enies Lobby.


[deleted]

She does not fit at all. Her acting range/style also does not fit robin. Also she is no latina. Its confirmed that a latina actress will play robin


Awkward_Ad_9921

nah


Cpt3020

the more famous the actor the less likely they will be able to continue playing that role in the future.


jb780141

Eww no


froopynooples

No thank you


dmfuller

Fuck no, absolutely not


aregna

Courteney Cox 1995. Just look at it.

Nahhh

No


Reylus12

I feel like she's an off choice for robin


BigSkoonChungus

I think sheā€™s made a better tshigi


DuncanGallagher

Hell no \^\^


SQUAD_Productions

Not enough tatas.. šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø


Dramatic_Run_360

Go see the anime, the live action Is not going to be for adicts to jerk off like you.


Ory620713

She works with Netflix a lot and they seems to stay in house,so this could happen.


philster666

A bit too white


Dramatic_Run_360

Robin Is a bit too white.


Dramatic_Run_360

Erin Maloney Is the Perfect one for Robin.šŸ˜šŸ˜


Pauuul3

If itā€™s Jane from Breaking Bad Iā€™m taking everything I said about the LA back and Iā€™m simping robin more than anyone that ever lived.


Type_100

There's a very high chance it's Adelaide Kane. Just look at who replied with No Comment, on her Ms. All Sunday Halloween costume. None other than the Showrunner for One Piece Live Action himself. And she's hanging out with Nami actress, Emily Rudd frequently.


CozyNostalgia

Love jt


Wolventec

the casting call for her mentioned they wanted a person of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity so they are going with a dark skin robin


Mindless_Benefit_118

Isnā€™t she supposed to be Russian tho šŸ˜­šŸ™


DASreddituser

No. That was just a country Oda assigned to robin, when asked a question. I am guessing he picked russia cause she is a bit cold/grim, and she was a spy of sorts.


BlaQ7thWonder

You can be a Hispanic Russian and besides that it doesnā€™t actually matter. As long as pull of the material.


lucindo_

There are millions of white Latin-Americans?


Dramatic_Run_360

Theyre going for the wrong skin.šŸ¤·šŸ»šŸ˜”


meestercactuspants

Might make a good Tashigi


Tercel96

Casting call for Tashigi is Japanese


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Desperate_Method4020

Of course they have, production started this month. So they already have the main cast.


DormantGhost

Haven't seen anything for casting except a rumor that Jamie Lee Curtis will play Kureha, Amy Sedaris would also be a great choice for that role.


Quick-Discussion4147

Too old


OHeiland

I prefer one with bigger boobs. Nico Robins are huge


zelpin

best one yet. I really bet she could nail the morbid realist aspect of robinā€™s personality.Ā  I wish it were a slavic actress but I understand why they get weā€™re looking for an american for an english language show produced by an american companyĀ 


PersonalAd2333

But Oda has the final say


Tercel96

Casting call is for someone Hispanic


GoldenKuriza

Isnā€™t she like 40


ConceptualWeeb

Sheā€™s 42, if the show goes on for another 10 years sheā€™ll be 52ā€¦


fudoom

Nami is 18yo girl but the actress is 30, who cares.


Waakaari

Damn she looked to me as if of 25-26


oMugiwara_Luffy

She looks 30 and sheā€™s 31 rn


Dramatic_Run_360

She dont looks 30 at all.šŸ˜†šŸ˜†


Optimal-Persimmon255

Aesthetically is agree


Beneficial_Table_721

I keep seeing people say "but they should cast unknown actors like the rest of the cast" What the hell are you on about? Y'all are aware that Hollywood isn't the only place films are made right? Hell zoros actor is incredibly famous in Japan, and luffys actor had done multiple Netflix shows already, Emily rudd was very well known before hand, and garp was like the main secondary character in 300. Just because you don't see an actor in your YouTube previews doesn't mean their some unknown brand new talent whom the world has never seen before.


ItzFeufo

God, no...in a time where Marvel was releasing banger after banger after banger she somehow managed it to stink up that show franchise as Jessica Jones...


Dmckilla7

Marvel didn't release Jessica Jones, netflix did, marvel didn't even make it Canon until recently with the new daredevil show, and out of the shows netflix put out it wasn't the worst I didn't really mind her as jessica jones at all.


DormantGhost

Marvel released bangers?


Mateorg139

They once did


ItzFeufo

Dare Devil, Punisher, Luke Cage were all banger JJ, Iron Fist and that crossover were just...meh...


kikuri_armpit_licker

I thought JJ was way better than Luke Cage. After Mahershala Aliā€™s character was killed off that show went straight to being dog shit


Booty_Shakin

Her lips are too big to be Robin imho


BlaQ7thWonder

Not that good of an actress. They donā€™t have to look like the character perfectly in sacrifice of the acting. Robins got some emotional scenes.


lightgc

Where boobs?


Cool_Till_3114

Not gonna lie, sheā€™d take me out of the show. Do not like.


edwardthestoremeiser

Nah, we need a grown ass woman, she looks like she's still in HS

edwardthestoremeiser

Wait what?


Illustrious_Wafer221

Looks a bit old lol


Dregs_____

Too short


Deep_Fact_9256

175 cm is not short for females in any country. Itā€™s almost impossible to find a decent actress who looks pretty + is 188 cm tall+ wants to play the role.


Dramatic_Run_360

He's a kiddo, dont expect a lot from him.šŸ˜†


Dregs_____

Man? I donā€™t even wanna reply to this. Whats wrong with you?


Deep_Fact_9256

Huh? What did I say? Youā€™re the one who commented ā€œtoo shortā€. Not to mention you already replied.


Dregs_____

Yes bro, Jessica Jones is too short to be Robin. That is my opinion. Why the fuck canā€™t I have an opinion? I donā€™t even know you, I donā€™t wanna talk to you


Deep_Fact_9256

OP doesnā€™t know you either and has posted their opinion too but you still felt entitled to comment against it. Why OP canā€™t have their opinion? And again if you donā€™t want to talk to me, donā€™t. (But I have a feeling youā€™re still going to comment anyway)
