HUGE ARABASTA CAST REVEAL For One Piece Live Action Season 2
Who else is excited to see Robin and Crocodile in the flesh? One Piece LA Season 2 cannot come any closer.
One Piece is famed for its rogue’s gallery, with
Now we have two of the most iconic rogues in One Piece confirmed.
Sir Crocodile (Mr. 0), the main antagonist of the entire Arabasta Saga, is confirmed to be played by Joe Manganiello while Nico Robin (Ms. All Sunday), the mysterious vice president of Baroque Works and future Straw Hat crew member, will be played by Russian model and actress Lera Abova.
Btw, the new cast information was posted on Netflix's official website by mistake and then deleted after a few minutes lmao https://t.co/FEmPjA6AGg pic.twitter.com/QpHs5Gm4WC

The new casting information was released by Netflix’s website by mistake earlier but this has been widespread.
Manganiello is famous for roles Flash Thompson in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, Alcide Herveaux in five seasons of the HBO series True Blood, and Slade Wilson or Deathstroke in the 2017 film, Justice League, part of the now-defunct DCEU.
Already, we have someone with some experience playing the bad guy and since we barely got to see Manganiello’s take on Slade, we could see some of that in some capacity with his performance as Sir Crocodile.
Crocodile is one of Luffy’s most dangerous enemies, having beaten him twice in the Arabasta arc, and is easily proven himself through his multilayered plans to overthrow King Cobra and take over Arabasta.
Meanwhile, Abova has been speculated to play the role of Nico Robin for some time, as two members of the production team followed her a month ago, and has only a few acting credits, particularly the role of DJ Das Boot or Thea in “Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin” a 2022 spinoff TV series of the Pitch Perfect films.
Lera Abova is now speculated to play Nico Robin in the Opla. A couple of members from production have started to follow her.

In SBS Volume 56, Oda stated that Nico Robin’s real-life nationality would be Russian, so the One Piece Live Action staff have taken that into deep consideration.
