Netflix has unveiled the primary cast for the live-action version of One Piece through Twitter (and immediately erased it), with Iaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero Gibson, and Taz Skylar leading the group.
It’s been about two years since Netflix initially announced that they were working on a live-action series with Tomorrow Studios, and while there have been a few updates along the way, we’ve never known who will be in the cast. Until now, that is.
The series is presently in South Africa for an early 2022 release, but we now know who the core actors for the live-action series will be.
So, let’s take a look at the latest cast members for Netflix’s One Piece live-action series.
