As part of its Geeked Week presentations and announcements, Netflix revealed the live-action actors who will play One Piece Baroque Works members Miss All-Sunday and Mr 0. They will be played by Lera Abova and Joe Manganiello. A table read trailer with Inaki “Monkey D Luffy” Godoy also featured a peek at the live-action version of Tony Tony Chopper as well.
Editor’s Note: There will be spoilers for Miss All-Sunday and Mr 0 in One Piece below.
Both Miss All-Sunday and Mr 0 become recurring characters in One Piece, as the former is Nico Robin and the latter is Crocodile. Both initially appeared in the series as the heads of Baroque Works, an organization playing a major role in season two of the live-action adaptation. Abova is a model whose only other major role so far was in the Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin TV series. Meanwhile, Manganiello is known for both movie and television roles, with notable ones being Alcide in True Blood, Deathstroke in Justice League, Burke in Rampage, and Flash Thompson in Spider-Man.
The reveal for them appeared on social media, alongside art of their characters:
Here’s the teaser for Chopper in the live-action One Piece adaptation. We only get to see him from behind at the 49 second mark. His antlers, signature hat, and ears can be seen, but the rest of him is obscured by a chair.
These aren’t the only Geeked Week reveals for this adaptation. There was also a tour of the set for season 2 as well. That was hosted by Jeff “Buggy the Clown” Ward.
The first season of the One Piece live-action adaptation is on Netflix now, with season 2 on the way. The anime is on both Netflix and Crunchyroll. Viz Media handles the manga outside of Japan.
