Casting announcements for One Piece season 2 have been coming out over the past few weeks. Recently, Lera Abova and Joe Manganiello have joined the cast. Fans have been awaiting season two of the live-action since season one was released. The One Piece live-action is one of the most successful anime live-action series, and fans are constantly excited to get more news about season 2 castings. Here’s everything we know about the recent announcements.
Lera Abova
Lera Abova is a model and actress who has previously starred in films like Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin. She is cast as Nico Robin, a character who made her first appearance in season 2 of the anime. It’s fitting that she makes her first appearance in season 2 of the live-action. The exciting thing about her casting is that when the manga’s author, Eiichiro Oda, was talking about the races and nationalities of the characters, he said that Robin was Russian in his mind. Lera Abova is Russian, which is a happy accidental fulfillment of the author’s intention.
Abova took to Instagram to talk about her casting and address the fans. She said, “Hi, Grand Fleet, it’s Lera Abova here, otherwise known as Miss Sunday. Thanks for welcoming me aboard. I couldn’t be more excited to go on this incredible adventure with you now. But for now, I’m headed back to Cape Town to continue filming season 2. Let me tell you, there are some secrets and mysteries you won’t want to miss. Knowledge is power, Nakama.” Fans are excited to see Miss Sunday in the live-action, especially with how well-received the other cast members were in season one. This character has been highly anticipated to be added to the cast, and Abova feels like the perfect casting.
Joe Manganiello
In addition to Lera Abova, Joe Manganiello has also been cast as Mr. 0. The actor, well known for his roles in True Blood and Magic Mike, is a casting for which many fans are excited. During a statement at Netflix Geeked, Manganiello said, “To be trusted with one of the greatest characters ever in manga and fantasy; I’ve been waiting for a character like this my whole career.”
In a world where so many actors view characters like this as just another job, it’s important to hear him express how much of an honor it is to play the character. These characters mean so much to people, and it’s great when they mean just as much to an actor, or at least they can respect the weight of the role they carry.
Final Thoughts
Season 2 of One Piece is filming, and fans are in for another amazing season. Season 2 will cover the Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island arcs. Fans are looking forward to diving into these arcs in the live-action, as well as seeing more of the characters who have been so well adapted. With Lera Abova and Joe Manganiello, it’s bound to be a great season.
