After winning hearts through manga and anime,One Pieceonce again had fans’ complete attention in its hold with its most recent live-action adaptation. Not only were the action, storyline, and sets adapted truly immaculately from the source material, but even the actors cast for the respective characters fit so perfectly that fans couldn’t help but commend the series’ creators.
That being said, there are still quite a few prominent characters from the saga who are yet to be adapted into live-action, like Whitebeard and a few others. And since they would be ostensibly making their live-action debut soon, we have compiled a list of all the Hollywood actors who could play 5 of the most major characters remaining to be cast. Read on!
5 Hollywood Actors Who Could Be Perfect ForOne PieceLive-Action
Following the end of season 1 of the series, there are indeeda lotof characters yet to be introducedin the series because not more than the main ensemble of Monkey D. Luffy’s crew and a few others have been seen in live-action so far. This includes both important characters and other minor characters.

Since there are awhooolelot of minor characters, for now, we’ll just discuss some of the most necessary ones who are expected to be introduced sooner or later inthe live-action sagaand which Hollywood actor could play them. These include Whitebeard, Trafalgar D. Water Law, Boa Hancock, Blackbeard, and Nico Robin.
1Whitebeard: Clancy Brown
The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Edward Newgate is one of the most compassionate characters in Monkey D. Luffy’s universe despite his immense strength and physical build. Renowned as being the‘Strongest Man in the World’, he is yet to appear in the live-action series of the saga.

While there are a lot of options for who could perfectly embody him,HighlanderstarClancy Browncould be one of the finest choices. If anything, he would succeed in not only maintaining that charm to Newgate but also leading the character with the perfect authority through his unique voice and strong presence. Other than him,Vin Dieselcould also be considered for the role.
2Trafalgar Law: Antonio Galeas
Trafalgar D. Water Law (commonly referred to as simply Trafalgar Law) is another one of the most prominent characters in theEiichiro Oda-helmed saga. The captain cum doctor of the Heart Pirates, he can be ruthlessly cruel when needed but does not support the idea of needless killing. And just like Newgate, he too has a perfect candidate to represent him in live-action: Antonio Galeas.
Though the name would sound unfamiliar to most, Galeas is an actor and has starred in a minor role in filmmaker Mike Fox’s recent movieSleepers. And judging from his physical appearance and facial features, Antonio Galeas could quite literally be the perfect choice to embodyTrafalgar D. Water Law. Other than him, Jefri Nichol could be considered a good candidate too.
3Boa Hancock: Ana de Armas
Okay, we know what you’re thinking: There’s a great chance that Boa Hancock, who isthe‘Snake Princess’of Amazon Lilyand the captain and ruler of the Kuja Pirates, doesn’t appear in live-action anytime soon because she pretty much appears after episode 400 in the anime. But there are some good choices on who could embody her character and we’ll be discussing the same.

First off, since she seems to have quite a few Chinese influences, a Chinese actress like Fan Bingbing could be good for her role. But if they want to cast someone more experienced from Hollywood, then actressAna de Armaswouldn’t be a bad choice either. Apart from these two, Phillipean actress Kim Domingo could also nail it as Boa Hancock.
4Blackbeard: Anthony Anderson
Although he is the infamous captain-turned-admiral of the Blackbeard Pirates and one of the primaryvillains of Monkey D. Luffy’s universe, Marshall D. Teach is yet to be introduced in the live-action series. And for now, we have two candidates who could perfectly portray the character of the vicious antagonist.
Iñaki Godoy Took Inspiration From 4 Legendary Comedians and Actors to Play Luffy in One Piece Live Action
First off isAnthony Anderson, the actor-cum-comedian renowned for the comedy seriesBlack-ish. Although heisa comedian, he could be the perfect Teach in live-action if guided accurately. But if not him, then the second choice could be Mexican comedian Felipe Esparza, who could, also, inevitably kill it as the formidable villain.
5Nico Robin: Erin Maloney
Nico Robin isthe renowned‘Devil Child’and archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates, and is yet to make her live-action debut in Netflix’s masterpiece series. However, even though nothing can be said or confirmed as of yet, she too seems to have a real-life counterpart, just like every other character from the saga listed above.
“I understand that Luffy..means something to people”: Iñaki Godoy Details One Downside of Being Famous After One Piece Live Action
For Robin, the most accurate choice could be the actress Erin Maloney. Though she currently doesn’t hold any credible experience as an actress in a movie or series, her physical appearance is uncannily similar to that of Nico Robin. Plus, she has also been highly rumored for the role (as pertrstdly), so let’s just hope the rumors turn out to be true.
You can stream season one of theOne Piecelive-action series on Netflix.
