One Piece Live-Action Actor for Nefertari Cobra Revealed

Netflix hasn’t revealed Nefertari Vivi for the One Piece live-action adaptation yet, but it has shared the actor for her father Nefertari Cobra on social media. He’ll be played by Sendhil Ramamurthy. 

As a reminder, King Cobra rules the Arabasta Kingdom, which is a key location in the Arabasta Saga of the One Piece story. The end of the first season of the live-action adaptation closed things out with elements from the Arlong Park Arc and Nami joining the crew permanently. The second season of the show will feature Baroque Works and the debut of characters like Chopper and Miss All Sunday. 

Here’s the official announcement from social media. It shows a picture of Sendhil Ramamurthy alongside Nefertari Cobra, so people can compare. 

Most recently, Ramamurthy provided the voice of characters in some animated series like The Legend of Vox Machina and DC Super Hero Girls. He also played Bloodwork in The Flash and Mohinder Suresh in Heroes.

There’s still one more day left for Netflix’s three days of One Piece live-action actor reveals. The Eiichiro Oda tease did mention Chopper, Miss All Sunday, and Vivi, and we also don’t know who plays Crocodile, so we could learn who will play them.

The first season of the One Piece live-action adaptation is now on Netflix, and season 2 is in production. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll and Netflix. Viz Media handles the manga outside Japan.
