'Roll call' of live-action 'One Piece' stars before release date

Netflix's version of One Piece is the first live-action adaptation to hit the small screen. Each episode is extremely expensive, with an estimated production cost of $18 million per episode, and the first season has a total of 8 episodes. This is also Netflix's ambitious project to bring Eiichiro Oda's massive "brainchild" to the screen.

The film has released an official trailer, revealing the initial journey of the Straw Hat crew in conquering the legendary treasure One Piece. The filmmakers have "chosen the right person" for each actor, because that is not only the intention of the creators but also the consent of the author - the father of the famous series.

Mexican actor Iñaki Godoy plays Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. His initial journey is to "recruit soldiers and horses", gathering teammates from all over to conquer the treasure One Piece. This year, Iñaki Godoy is 19 years old. Before appearing in One Piece , Iñaki Godoy participated in 3 movies and has been active in television since 2016.

The first time seeing Iñaki Godoy on set, author Eiichiro Oda immediately "concluded": "This is Luffy"

One of the actors who surprised and amazed the audience when the project was announced was Arata Mackenyu - the son of the late famous Japanese artist Sonny Chiba. He transformed into the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro, the only one in the group who can use 3 swords at the same time in combat.

He is the only Japanese actor in the cast. One of the interesting things about playing Zoro is that he had to get three piercings in his ears at the same time. "It was very painful," the actor confessed. Before playing One Piece , Arata Mackenyu had appeared in many manga adaptation projects such as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Chapter I (2017), Tokyo Ghoul S (2019), Rurouni Kenshin: The Final (2021), Pegasus Seiya in Knights of the Zodiac (2023)

One of the beauties appearing in the main cast is American actress Emily Rudd, who plays Nami - a girl with a painful past in the original series. Matt Owens, one of the project's creators, commented that Nami is an intelligent character in the Straw Hat crew. This beautiful navigator leads the crew on the right path in difficult sea voyages. She has acted in films such as Fear Street Part 2: 1978 , Fear Street Part 3: 1666 , Hunters ...

Playing the role of Black Leg Sanji in the film is Spanish actor Taz Skylar. He started his acting career through short films, then appeared in 4 TV series and One Piece can be considered the most famous project he participated in. In the story, the character Sanji is the chef of the Straw Hat crew, who possesses a "unique" move of kicking his legs like the sky.

Coming from one of the remote villages, Usopp, played by Jamaican-American actor Jacob Romero, promises to bring a lot of emotions to the audience. His character possesses the talent of "a hundred shots, a hundred hits", although sometimes his silly personality also makes readers of the manga series "laugh out loud".

Another character whose first images were released that surprised many viewers was Koby, played by actor Morgan Davies. He publicly transitioned in 2020. His most recent work was the movie Evil Dead Rise directed by Lee Cronin.

Two characters that are highly appreciated for their appearance and resemblance to the original are Garp (played by actor Vincent Regan, left photo) and chef Zeff (played by Craig Fairbrass). In the original, Garp is Luffy's grandfather, who constantly encounters him throughout his journey of exploration, while Zeff is the one who takes care of Sanji and teaches him the profession later on. These are both veteran actors who have acted in many films.

Another character in the film's supporting line that will appear and will surprise the audience is the clown Buggy played by actor Jeff Ward. He appeared in many TV series such as Agents of SHIELD , Brand New Cherry Flavor ...

The One Piece movie has a multi-ethnic and gender-diverse cast. In just 10 days, the movie will officially be released to fans. This is a long-term investment project (started in 2017 and then stalled due to the pandemic), and during the production period, the filmmakers met and discussed with author Eiichiro Oda many times to ensure that the work retains the "quality" of the original series. Both the author and the filmmakers are placing high expectations on this adaptation project.
