shanks is here mary is here and the most anticipated legendary lieutenant full body is here
legendary for being annoying that is anyway we have first looks at logtown the execution platform
garp's role in the story possible season 2 information as well as more confirmation
on when we can expect this thing to finally be released on netflix now i thought it was going
to be a bit longer before i made another one of these update videos but we are just getting
so much new information left and right about the one piece live action and everybody in the
comments was telling me to make an update on shanks make an update on shanks so here i am
ready to give you the full scoop the entire cast is really starting to come together and
we recently got one of the biggest cast reveals to date and that my friends is shanks he will be
played by none other than peter gaddiet again i apologize to all of the actors if i'm pronouncing
your names incorrectly but he looks to be a super talented actor that some of you might actually
already know for his role in the new hit series on showtime yellowjackets for those who haven't
watched yellowjackets yet please you need to get on that [ __ ] right now it is incredible
okay um as much as i would love to believe you finally want to get to know me when you tell me
what this is really about are you trying to catch me lying about things because i swear it was just
a stupid brat thing it's a crazy thing to lie about i know i'm sorry the rest of it sean us
it's real i think you can already tell by that clip that this guy is going to be perfect for
shanks and i cannot wait to see him all suited up for the role i'm especially looking forward
to seeing that iconic scene of shank saving luffy from the sea monster and him using the
supreme king's hockey in real life like how are they going to present the power of the supreme
king in the show i have a feeling it's going to be an extremely hyped moment for the series
honestly i don't know if this is gonna happen but i really hope we get some leaked footage of
some of the actors like in action you know doing their thing in their roles i think it would be
cool to get a small glimpse of you know how they carry themselves with their respective characters
and just like the other main cast members we got a message from peter right after he was announced
to play shanks hey guys i'm peter gadier i'm super stoked to announce that i'll be playing shanks on
one piece we've just started production here in cape town and i cannot wait for you to see it so
it looks like he's already in cape town filming with the rest of the cast it makes me wonder if
they've casted the rest of shanks's crew said some of his crew do play a crucial role in the
east blue saga examples being yasa ben beckman and lucky roo i think we will be getting reveals
on secondary characters like these very soon but when they finally announce who is playing
roger the internet's gonna break speaking of the rest of the cast we also got two new cast member
announcements with jean henry as full body sanji's punching dummy and len barry simmons as chew from
the arlong pirates gene henry is a musician model and actor from south africa i really struggled to
find a solid portfolio so there's not really anything to go off of but let's go ahead and
put our hopes out there that he's gonna pull off the most smug lieutenant marine possible
now len barry simmons seems like a super fun guy his instagram is full of really energetic photos
and he looks like he's gonna be perfect to play too i mean she was a super silly character and
you really need that especially for his fight with one of the silliest straw hats usopp i'm expecting
a lot of comedy from that battle and i really hope he can pull it off len barry simmons has been in
a couple smaller film projects but nothing major so his role in one piece is a very big deal for
him as well as gene henry a good performance in this series will probably make their careers as
actors seeing as how big the project is and it's super cool to see the team behind the casting
bring in these new actors that are the best fits for their respective roles rather than just
recruiting known actors for fan service honestly before reporting on the one piece live action i
had never heard of some of these actors before but after doing research for these videos and learning
about the cast i'm really really excited to see how all of them perform on some more great news
we have a closer look at the ships being built for the series and i love the fact that they are
actually building the ships cause they look great we have this image here of garp's marine vessel
which seems to be getting closer to completion we also finally got a finished shot of the mary
go which looks absolutely incredible the amount of detail on the ship is insane and it's gonna
look even better with the sails down giving us that iconic look we know from the anime and manga
the mouth being open is definitely an interesting change but it makes mary feel like she's smiling
bigger which could have been done as a playoff of mary in her name both ships look great and it's
really cool to see these ships come together over time shanks is huge ship garps's ship luffy ship
alvedas the baratier and even the random ones we can't figure out yet this really is a huge project
with so many real props involved which i know will make the final product feel all the more authentic
for it the set pieces for logtown look incredible and we were lucky enough because of these leaks to
catch a glimpse of the execution platform where we will all see gold d roger executed and where
we will also see luffy almost get his head chopped off by a lunatic dressed like a clown we also get
some closer looks at the agriculture of the city with it having that classic yellow rustic tinted
atmosphere best captured in the anime in those images we can also see two different signs one
of them reading execution gold d roger pirate king or i guess in this case it says gold roger
but i'm sure that will be cleared later on in the series and another saying marine hero garp defeats
pirate king gold roger which is already saying so much in terms of those words alone him being
called garp the hero or hero garp is his classic epithet referring to the incident that happened
on god's valley the sign saying he defeated the pirate king is really interesting because it's
not something that we've seen in the actual story in the manga it's insinuated that the pirate king
turned himself in as far as i can remember we haven't gotten any information about his arrest
so this could just be a change in direction or something that adds to the political nuance of
the story since this is of course most likely propaganda being used by the world government i'm
also curious to know what w e p stands for if you have any ideas please let me know in the comments
section below what you think these letters could mean we get a look at some barrels too which are
actually pretty important in the beginning of the story if you think about it you know because
luffy's introduction is literally him popping out of a barrel on alvita's ship for our final proper
reveal of this update we have a great first look at what could be the official straw hat for the
one piece live action now i just need to see it on anki's head we have gotten some great concept art
of what the live action luffy could look like but nothing will beat that first official poster once
we finally get it and maybe we'll get some more leaked video or pictures of the cast in costume
but only time will tell as production continues and we are introduced to more actors we start
to see more interactions between the main cast and the newly introduced members it's cool to see them
bonding and doing things together and i really hope to see even more going forward it's been
a while since we've seen anything crazy with the main cast but we did get a very interesting reveal
from anaki that his favorite juice is orange juice which is funny seeing how shanks gave luffy orange
juice to prove to luffy that he's still a kid at the very beginning of the series something
that was really cool to see is an actual confirmed estimate of when we can expect the release of the
one piece live action which like i suspected in one of my previous videos is late 2023 an
insider who has been working on the one-piece live action for years gave us a lot of insight into the
preparation they did before production began she states that shooting will probably continue until
the end of summer around august interestingly she mentions how much extra time the crew behind the
project had to really prepare for the shooting of the series and how even now they are still
putting an extensive amount of work into elements like props for the show she states pretty directly
that the show will be released in late 2023 which honestly i think is the perfect amount of time
for them to get everything situated that way it looks amazing when it finally comes out if they
do pull this off it's very likely that we will see more seasons be adapted something to look
forward to if they continue with a season 2 is the possible casting for jamie lee curtis as coreja
this is chopper's mother figure in the series introduced during drum island she seems very
enthusiastic about playing the role and already knows a bit about the series even matt owens
himself recognized this which really gives her a good chance at getting that role if we do end
up with a season 2 of one piece which i would assume would cover the entire alabasta saga i
love following the progression of this series so much and there was still so much information to
be revealed we have gotten a lot over the past few months and i know it's hard to keep up with that's
why i've documented all of it if you want to know more i would recommend checking out my growing
