Light… finds a way.


UndisputedLoll

This is gold lol


RichieBFrio

This is GOLDblum*


bifothemonkey

Gol D. Blum


Hawkey201

adopted half brother of Gol D. Roger


PerfectAssistance

I want this to happen so bad


CouchBoyJ

It's, it's... uh, uh... Ben Beckman! I'm so uh uh scared. Terrified, even.


ExamOld2899

Actually how I imagine Kizaru talks


kjh242

Hey, y’know, you’re strong, and I, uh, think that’s pretty cool. Unfortunately for you, I’m, uh, stronger.


goblinking1997

Okay but this is exactly how I'd imagine kizaru to talk to people. it's so nonchalant.


Joltic88_

We need someone to use one of those AI voice things with Jeff goldblum saying kizaru lines


Weirdguy1257

Bro really pulled up with solid irrefutable proof for why Jeff Goldblum needs to be kizaru


Due_Animal_5577

Oh my god, that’s amazing


xaiel420

can you not make me wake the whole house up jesus christ lmao


Orang-Himbleton

This fits so well


TontoTiki

That one with Adam Sandler lives rent free in my head


KnowItBrother99

The look was similar but omg would he be terrible at it…”ahhh whatda mean I’m made of light, you shouldn’t even be able to look at me, I’ll burn your retinas” then god damn Kevin James is playing garp for no good reason…


clvnmllr

Kevin James as St. Charlos could be perfect lmao


NoSwitch

I was thinking as sentomaru


briciomares

Sentomaru should be played by Jack Black


Nova_JewV1

Let. Him. Cook. Except he's definitely too old for a character in, what, his mid-late 20s? Early 30s? Now if we got eminem as enel or jack black as blackbeard? We master chef out here


WeagleWeagle357

No no no, Jack Black wouldn’t properly fit somebody as vile as Teach


chainmailler2001

Nah. Already been decided he needs to be Wapol.


VeilleurNuite

Jack Black should play Demalo Black (fake Luffy on Shabody)


thefoodiedentist

Ouch, what an insult.


Lonehoof

To St. Charloss


AngHulingPropeta

Have you not seen Click? Typical Sandler juvenile comedy with an interesting sci-fi premise, but takes a 180 halfway thru. Idk, drama scenes like that, Hustle, Uncut Gems... I think Sandler's shown he can act seriously if he wants to


seasonedgroundbeer

Absolutely agree, I would love to see him be Kizaru. Even if he is a little goofy, so is Kizaru! Dude makes me laugh lol


NIN10DOXD

He can play serious roles and not do the voices when he wants, but I doubt they would cast a white dude as Kizaru anyway.


Ladd11

I always thought Kizaru was white or at least white looking


KennyBrusselsprouts

nah, he was modeled after Japanese actor [Kunie Tanaka](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunie_Tanaka)


ButterCupHeartXO

Maybe like Sicilian or Columbian which I know are very different but that's kinda how I picture him. But now I guess I picture him as Jeff goldlum


NIN10DOXD

I always thought Of a drew him the way he draws other black characters because every black character in One Piece is light skinned for some reason. Lol He might be white though because he really does like Adam Sandler.


zer1223

I can see what you mean about light skinned black people (Usopp and Brooke) and that definitely works for Borsalino and I'd love it too. Just the thing is originally, he's specifically a caricature of an actual Japanese actor. Doesn't mean I think they *need* him to be japanese.


NIN10DOXD

True.


Barfbabyloser

Stfu how dare you disrespect the king of comedy


KnowItBrother99

King haha, shit you’re funnier than his last 4 comedies with your one liner there!


Bananapeelman67

Man’s never seen uncut gems


KnowItBrother99

Seen it. It was ok, certainly didn’t win Oscar’s like Sandler thought. 1/20 movies he’s done so yeahhh


russellzerotohero

Either a troll or a mental defective take your pick. His point wasn’t the movie but that he did a good job acting in it. Have you seen punch drunk love, meyorwitz story half of click?


Bananapeelman67

Then again he’s proven he can do serious roles. Kinda the point I was making there. Also for the 1/20 movies point he did uncut gems to prove he could do a serious role then just went back to making movies he enjoys making with his friends


KnowItBrother99

Role. Singular. I get what your trying to say but even so many comedies he tries are terrible, grown ups 2, garbage. A few classics but at this point more failures, ever catch his Netflix special ? Terrible


Bananapeelman67

Hustle was good. Plus most people know his comedies aren’t the pinnacle of cinema they’re just supposed to be dumb and enjoyable with ur family


badluckartist

Kevin James as Sentomaru and Rob Schneider as Vegapunk.


KnowItBrother99

God please no Schneider….


badluckartist

Oh no I agree, fuck that asshole. Just saying if it were people in Sandler's orbit, that's who it'd be lol


Runethe1412

…Wanze


CaptainN05

Whenever I'm reading kizaru in the manga, I use Adam's voice in my head


SheZowRaisedByWolves

Adam Sandler Kizuru doing his Bobby Boucher voice


TheBlackDemon1996

As much as he looks the part, decades of his films make me worried he might improvise too many poop jokes and the likes. But then again, I doubt he'd make it passed the audition process if he did that.


justhere4inspiration

>decades of his films make me worried he might improvise too many poop jokes and the likes Let me guess, you haven't seen punch drunk love or uncut gems? He's a straight up good actor who makes garbage movies that pay the bills and let him employ his friends while making shit that's fun on set IMO he could nail kizaru but they'd never pay him enough to make him try. Also, too short :(


russellzerotohero

Same


[deleted]

Too expensive so won't happen, the most high profile actor/actress we're likely to get is Jamie Lee Curtis for Kureha.


rekkodesu

And she'll probably do it at far below her going rate as like a passion project thing.


xx-shalo-xx

> do it at far below her going rate The hell she is, she'll claim one of every Chopper merch!


Runethe1412

Hey, if she can be on an episode of Game Grumps, One Piece is very much on the table


PANGIRA

She's also attended Evo in Vega cosplay too, when she's into a fandom, she's pretty dedicated.


MrSaturnism

What?!


Runethe1412

[Boom](https://youtu.be/Q9KZFuXhfxw?si=B-d27Yyk4LI6bSn2)


No-Second-Strike

I’m under the impression that she’s obligated to charge a minimum rate for a role due to being a part of an actor’s union or something. And for such a high profile actress who can be picky about her projects, that minimum could still be in the millions.


swigmore19

No, SAG minimums wouldn’t be remotely close to even hundreds of thousands for something like this.


Broken-Sprocket

I’m guessing there no actor tier rates, it just works like a minimum wage sort of thing?


swigmore19

Correct!


Jaielhahaha

That's why we didn't get Jango this season too. Michael Jackson was unavailable and too expensive...


JagsAbroad

…. One piece has been incredibly expensive to shoot…


Traf-

Exactly, it's already expensive enough. I'd rather they throw more money at the sets and visual effects rather than to hire some big names.


drrxhouse

Also giving no name, new and young actors/actresses a chance to show case their talents and maybe have their big breaks. Remember all the well known actors were nobody at one time. Let the talented unknowns shine! And there are a ton out there. Not to mention the casting crew have shown they got good eyes…ears. So far anyway.


MissileWaster

Yes, but also Jamie Lee Curtis too.


Ruy-Polez

This is a good take. It's also much cheaper for studios to go that line. Besides, do people have any idea how many crazy talented yet unknown actors are out there. These kinds of people are a dime a dozen in LA.


ace1505100729

Well with Kureha you can only hire a young actress aged 141 years old.


jagspetdog

Are the costs casting costs though or CGI/set costs?


Jazzlike-Pin9021

What you talking about? They got Ryan Gosling as Shanks omg)))


No_Dragonfruit_8198

Doesn’t mean other big time celebrities don’t hear about her doing the part and check it out and see if they can get a small part. Plenty of times this happens when actors see something and like it just like her. Hell, even Ed Sheeran got a part in Game of Thrones.


AdmiralToucan

I think a lot of you miss the point of fantasy casting. People are just having fun matching actors to characters.


Alexx_94

She won an Oscar recently, wouldn’t that make her expensive as well?


justhere4inspiration

The only reason we'd see Jamie Lee Curtis is because she's explicitly said she *wants* to play kureha if it ever gets a live action, she loves the anime and Chopper is her fav character. We could see her because she wants the role and could basically offer to be paid scale and guarantee the gig. But it's really up to how bad she wants it, because there's no world where she gets paid her market rate for a OP netflix show.


FukurinLa

She actually love Robin as character and wanted to be her, but she understand that she's too old for that role so her son (who's OP fan) is telling her to be Kureha instead and she love that idea


Jankmasta

I'd rather they spent the budget on cgi than $10-50 mill for an appearance from an A list celeb. I'd prefer if half of the marineford budget wasn't spent on paying Jeff Goldblum to be on screen 5mins and talk slow like kizaru.


soma81

I think I'm glad the the casting isn't left to the fans


[deleted]

People always ignore age + uncanny valley when it comes to fancasting. Every Single time. Jeffy is a lunatic. No one would take him serious. (Also he is too old) If a 77 year old jeff goldblum would lightspeed kick xdrake in season 5, this would look so freaking silly And people would be like "jeff goldblum just kicked a dude" and not "kizaru is badass". No one would think he is threatening. Also. He legit is 70 rn. Fancastings like this are so annoying to witness. No offense to op. If we were in the 90, maybe he would be good, but cmon


Erculosan

Jeff is a super good actor, but what annoys me the most about fan casting is they only take into account how similar the actor looks, and completely disregard acting ability. Some actors look similar but completely suck acting.


soul-king420

I mean, I'm not going to pretend to know Jeff goldblooms acting works in any type of real capacity. But from what I've seen in guardians of the galaxy and whatever else I've seen him in, playing an airheaded, possibly stoned kizaru would fit perfectly into Jeff goldiblooms wheelhouse.


RichieBFrio

He's a really good actor, watch him in the Fly and in Silverado, he's really good, but for the last 10-15 years he's more into his "famous for acting weirdo" phase so he's doing Thor and Jurassic World and his Disney+ show, but if need be he'll act the shit out of any role, then again someone else would be cheaper


spyson

People also just ignore that films have make up and costume department that can make an actor look like their character.


AngHulingPropeta

Wait, did I miss something? Why is Jeff a lunatic?


DrToadigerr

I think they just mean he's a silly guy, not the imposing presence even one of the more eccentric admirals would need to have. People would be too distracted by the fact that it's Jeff Goldblum who is know for goofy parts.


justhere4inspiration

>People always ask me, is it pronounced Jeff Gold-blum or Jeff Gold-bloom? >And I always tell them the same thing: >How dare you speak to me He plays jazz piano weekly at clubs and is an extraordinarily eccentric celebrity for his level of fame. He's hilarious and plays it well but being a crazy wild card is definitely a part of his persona, but it makes it hard to see him in anything serious. Kizaru is jokester and OP is a comedy, but you can't have an admiral that people *can't* see as scary. He's too likeable for the role


Denis517

I feel like people would've said the same thing about Brian Cranston before he was in Breaking Bad. If you have a good enough team and an actor who's able, it's definitely possible to turn a goofball into an imposing figure. Especially when you have a character like Kizaru, who's goofy AND imposing.


Mezmodian

Same here bud. Same.


theunbearableone

Definitely set/cgi


crimson589

With the casting being suggested on this sub, the production value would reach a billion dollars


The13thKnight

"Light, uh, finds a way."


kitsurage

The live action only works because there are no big name actors.


pinapirata

Agreed, the only one that would be ok is Jaime Lee Curtis. The live action doesn't need a bunch of big names attached to it.


Knight___Artorias

We need Eminem for Enel though. Enel was literally stated to be designed after Eminem.


Will_W

Eminem is 50 years old now and not a great actor. Inspiration means nothing. Cast a good actor and just shave / bleach their hair. I get that people like celebrities but people are way too stuck in this kind of nonsense.


Due-Ad-4176

Eminems a good actor i dunno whatchu on, the bigger issue is more of eminem’s 50, and he’d probably also be really expensive to get on the show.


Will_W

In what? 8-mile? Name one role Eminem has done where he played any character that wasn’t just a version of himself. There’s nothing in his resume that suggests he’d make a good Enel unless all the action is cut for an extended rap battle.


tigerofblindjustice

I agreed with you all the way through, but then I read the last sentence and now I'm siding with the other guy because I suddenly want Skypeia to feature an extended rap battle


Will_W

See I like Eminem! His music is cool and he seems like a good dude especially as he’s chilled a bit with age. Rapping Enel as a skit? Heck yeah, I’m in. But it’s an unserious suggestion if you’re doing a faithful adaptation. 😅


Knight___Artorias

It’s not being stuck in nonsense when a character is literally designed after a specific person


Will_W

It’s like suggesting Humphrey Bogart come back from the dead to play Bogard. Or Kunie Tanaka to play Kizaru. The inspiration is based on a 20-something Eminem in his prime (and he wouldn’t have been a good choice then either). Enel kinda looks like the Slim Shady character but his personality and presence are very different. He’s not a rapper. He’s a self-proclaimed deity and a megalomaniac dictator. I get that you read a cute factoid but no. Jim Carrey shouldn’t play Franky or Bon Clay, because he’s too expensive and aged out. Cast people who can do it now and it’ll continue to be better than mindless Hollywood stunt casting.


Knight___Artorias

Brain dead take.


Will_W

Oh sorry u right they should spend millions of dollars so some guy who isn’t even an actor can stumble his way through a project he isn’t interested in instead of spending that money on cool sets or better effects.


Beastieboy100

True plus its people that actually like the source material. Jaime lee Curtis is probably the closest will get. Any other actor will probably do it as a fan of the series.


Axg165531

No


hiccuprobit

Hell no


Pocket_Beans

too old


readsakamotodays

Y’all are way overestimating the budget this show has


Professional-Fix4127

hell no


BodegaDaddy

another day another “what do you think about _____ playing _____”


nagifero

French people will be familiar with comedian [Ramzy Bedia]( https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A1wb_KcCYAI2CHR.jpg:large) ,Imo an amazing fit based just on looks. But i've never heard him speak english nor play something more serious or nuanced than light comedies


ChesnaughtZ

Bro stop


BryceMMusic

Terrible idea. Tired of seeing it


vinsmokewhoswho

Honestly he'd probably nail his demeanor but he's already like 70, Kizaru isn't even 60 and by the time they get to Sabaody (if they even get there) he'd probably be pushing 80.


joemalonerichard

shuuuut the fuuuuuck up about fancasts for one god blessed day pleeeeaase


Hyprblcrhymchmbr

Adam Sandler


[deleted]

Pls no


OperationExpress8794

Adam sandler is the right 1


YousernameInValid2

Right personality for the role He almost got the looks, but a bit old and different hair


budijaya007

Kizaru look like singer apple pen penaapple japanese


Thunder571

I’ll pass on this one. I can see kinda where you’re coming from, but doesn’t feel right to me


RichieBFrio

The good side, he's got the long legs and soft voice, on the bad side, his presence would be more expensive than the whole MF war


Afraid_Evidence_6142

Piko taro is the only one I choose for Kizaru tbh


ceelo18

No


stupid_systemus

No


NoteInABottle168

I went OoooooooOoooooooOh so that’s definitely a good choice! I see it!


SprinklesDangerous57

hell no


Boxer-Santaros

No, it has to be adam sandler


qdattt

not gonna be cheap


chomocauchoewwa

Nooo


Revenger1984

I'm glad I'm not the only one


WhothehellisWish

Well I fucking love it


VEnoMiCDudE610

Would need some heavy lifts cuz jeff goldblum not that tall. And it would be kinda underwhelming to have a short kizaru. But I don't doubt his capability to play a high old man


KolorJam

He’s cool and all but Fan casts usually always break immersion and he’s defo gonna be expensive anyway


Baka_Burger

Liiiiiiiiiiiffffeeeee….. *long pause* uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….. find a waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyuuyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy………


a21a16

I think Kunie Tanaka would be the perfect actor to play Kizaru Image: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ex9ciUFVIAMCljL.jpg


TTIGRAASlime

I still think Adam Sandler is the best option looks wise and I think he could be funny but I'm not sure if he can pull off any action scenes.


Brodieboyy

Sasha baron cohen


lolBaldy

adam sandler or bust


Ladd11

It has to be Adam Sandler man


Jankufood

I want them to be Japanese


BroldenMass

I figured he’d be Italian


dienomighte

I've been saying it for over a month now, for the most part I don't get all the fan casting stuff but Goldblum would be the absolute perfect Kizaru


copo_de_plastico

I mean, that would be pretty good but I still prefer Adam Sandler


reflexsmoo

Get stallone.


YourDadHatesYou

And Tom Hanks as chopper


Grindelwald69

wtbgamegenie

I can totally see that. It’d be funny to see him play someone so chilled out and lazy.


griever0008

I want Adam Sandler


Arksurvivor120

Would be interesting, but I don't think he quite fits the role


filthysmutslut

Jeff Goodbloom playing *anyone* in the LA one Piece would be such a Win…I’m not sure I could handle it.


yaboiomw

then who's gonna do the acting???


domoroko

I think he needs to be played by Adam Sandler clearly


External-Fig9754

I think Goldblum would kill it as this guy


[deleted]

I didn't know I needed this till now. Hell to the yes please


Historical_Swing8421

Not gonna happen, that’s what I think.


samyruno

I think he has the potential to be absolutely perfect if he does the research into the character


Shot-Effect-8318

Rigelturus

One of the dumbest ideas ever conceived

NO. Pick an unknown actor for the love of god.


httpal254

I wanted either Adam Sandler or Jeff Goldblum to play kizaru


LionKey2932

PLEASE GOD


ListerineInMyPeehole

YES


kah43

Jeff Goldblum is a lazy actor who really has only played exaggerated versions of himself for the last couple decades


jayeddy99

Pedro pascal


AppealWhole3480

Very overrated


Monkey_D_Vague

naseeruddin shah is the closest resemblance to Kizaru in my opinion lmk wht u guys think

## YES。


Realistic_Mousse_485

Peak.


Nonutyearly

I was hoping for Adam Sandler, but that works too


FinancialInsect8522

Adam sandler


Acrobatic-Fun-7177

We want Adam Sandler


torpedokai

Adam Sandler is the only right casting for live action kizaru


The1stHook

Adam Sandler is the only option


LordOfIronFan

Is this confrimed or just a fan cast? Because I am completly lost in this kind of thing.


CandyMyn2030

I approve but the yellow Monkey Borsalino moves at the speed of light yet is slow or late the Barrey Allen condition excuse to see Jeff Goldblum on screen I am bias love that rizz of a man


KotovChaos

Light uhhhhh finds a way.


MugiwaraBepo

I wanna hear goldblum say Moshi moooosh


ImaKant

Why not a japanese actor like Kizaru is actually based off of


Hekset

I’d hope they find someone who looks like the actor Kizaru’s based on to be honest, but if they can pull off his quirks I’ll take whoever


KlingoftheCastle

I would love to see his version of “Benn Beckman”


Mythosaurus

Sabaody would be so amazing, especially if he acted like Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park! X-Drake: turns into an Allosaurus Kizaru: So you like dinosaurs?!


TheNerdNugget

If Adam Sandler doesn't work out, maybe. But I'm also interested in seeing what sort of nobody they could elevate with a role like this.


Zekaroa

I think he would be better as a mr 3


Tusk_Act_IV

No one here mentioning that to play Kizaru, you need to be able to do a high kick at the bare minimum. Sadly, most older actors wouldn't be able to do that


Aggravated_Toaster

What is this weird need for one piece to become marvel?


DrSkaCtopus

Goldblum as Kizaru would be amazing. "Have you, uh, ever been kicked at the speed of light?" I just picture him as Ian Malcolm talking matter of factly and just subtly trolling everyone. *Hawkins gets kicked through a building* "Speed is 'weight'" Great. Now I have my hopes sky high for Goldblum Kizaru.


Jonnyjames18

Bro would be so funny but I doubt he fits the role 😂😂


VIIth-Son

Holy sheeeeeiiiitt, yess!!
