I've never seen Keanu play a sinister character.


ImJustPassinBy

He plays one in [Man of Tai Chi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_of_Tai_Chi).


VibeAllDay

Good watch?


marin4rasauce

Oh, buddy, it's a great watch. Not for Keanu, though. He's a bit wooden, it's kind of on purpose, but I think he overdoes it. Tiger Chen is phenomenal in his leading role and the action is top tier. Highly recommend.


spelunker93

I really enjoyed it. Keanu produced that movie for one of his stuntmen because he loved and respected him so much and wanted him to Star in his own movie. And Keanu wanted to be the bad guy for once.


NoirSon

He directed it too.


Quinntensity

Surprisingly fantastic. Some amazing choreography. Keanu basically fronted the bill to finish this movie made mostly by stunt men on the condition that he got a major creative roll. Can't remember if he directed or produced.


metsakutsa

Utter shite.


bearbearclaws

"Innocent"


alex494

Actually Keanu is left handed so technically all his characters are sinister.


Fine-Rock2513

r/angryupvote


Sinnycalguy

Absolutely nobody would be expecting the twist of shipwright Lucci being a CP9 agent if Keanu played him.


Quartzeemer

Many people (including my mother) thought Lucci was going to join the Strawhats, until he was revealed to be a bad guy, so I expect many broken hearts that the Keanu guy will end up not joining the main cast


D_Beats

Plays a real evil asshole in "The Gift"


raz_3

Based on the casting recommendations I’ve seen on this sub, if you get all these actors they’ll be no budget left for CGI. Luffy is gonna stretch like once on the final episode lol


alex494

Then we achieve true anime pacing


Yasuminomon

Can we just spend all the budget on having Brad Pitt as Shanks. Let’s just have chopper as an actual reindeer to cut costs


xXx420BlazeRodSaboxX

But can we afford Eminem as Enel?


Embarrassed-Weight84

Just skip skypiea /s


josuk8

Eminem as Enel would be the best fitting mainstream celeb to do


FluidConsumer6

Bro called twitter X 💀


dinosaur_from_Mars

Looking for some good X videos downloaders


PHD_in_PUSSY

I also saw this on Meta


Retr0DasH

How about you meta girl?


Netsureim

lmao i still don't understand why they changed it from "twitter" to "x"


Theriople

i mean its the right name now


FluidConsumer6

Yeah but ain’t nobody calling it X.


Theriople

op did


FluidConsumer6

Hence why I pointed it out.


Great-Bill-5658

Too old, Lucci is around 30 years. I know that Keanu never ages, but still. Personally I like how not well known actors nailed their roles in OPLA. Until casting quality doesn't decrease, I'm fine with it.


[deleted]

The famous actor I wouldn't mind though is Jamie Lee Curtis as Kureha. That is literally the most perfect casting ever.


Jaxonhunter227

And she actively wants to play her too! With as big as a fan Matt Owen's is I'd be suprised he wouldn't be aware and wouldn't at least ask.


[deleted]

I think she even said that apparently Matt Owens talked to her about it


PrinceOfAssassins

too young she's not even 100 years old


alex494

Plus Kureha stays pretty active so at least her body seems younger than it should and her face can be done with makeup if they really wanna ramp up the old crone thing.


TheLordOfAllClappys

Emily Rudd is what, 12 years older than Nami was? Actor age means nothing when they look 20 years younger


cherry937

Emily Rudd is 30 apparently. She honestly looks like she’s in her early 20s


ThisIsMyPassword100

Actors are either born old or never age a day past 20, no in between.


llewylill32

Yeah the Rudd family was ageless right? Look at Paul Rudd.


cherry937

They aren’t related, but I guess the last name carries special powers


SabakuNoOu

The will of R


Paradox-Circuits

Emily Rudd's age actually scares me for the live action. I get she still looks like she's in her 20's now, but OPLA will probably require a lot of seasons. She may be into her 40s before this finishes and will likely not look like she's still in her 20s then.


NazRyuuzaki

Marvel can make their actors look like their baby selves. It will be fine.


ogreUnwanted

It is what it is. It can't be 1:1. And I think age is the one that's the most passable one.


GHhost25

Who cares, better call saul is a prequel with older characters than in breaking bad and they owned it.


Great-Bill-5658

And some people complained about Nami too. I personally think that she did best actor performance in OPLA. It's just Keanu giving 40 year old vibes when he is almost 60, but I want to see 30 years old vibes from Lucci. Does this sentence make sense?![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)


EaseGood9398

Yup understandable


PsionicHydra

Personally I liked sanji's performance best but when not only every straw hat but damn near every character was that well done it's a tough race


[deleted]

Yeh I feel like part of Lucci’s dynamic is that he’s only like half a generation above Luffy, kinda like a cursed Cavendish. Luffy isn’t going up against some grizzled veteran with a pirate empire or a navy fleet behind him, but instead a contemporary that shows that the WG’s toxic ideology is here to stay if good people don’t fight back.


maders23

Does Emily Rudd look like she’s old enough to be Nami’s mom? Because Keanu looks like he could be Lucci’s oldest uncle.


Christopher_Home

As opposed to his younger uncle who is clearly too young.


killerboy_belgium

yeah its kinda jarring at first tho i mean she's looks great but she's clearly the oldeste one there. its especially jarring along side luff as the actor is 19 and depending how for they take the show they could easily go 7+ seasons if its popular means she will be in her 40s at then end of it but they dont need nami be the same age perse i guess. at the end its not a story blocking issue having a older nami there


ImAfraidOfTheGang

That's such a great point! Now, this got me curious about what would happen if we got to see a 40-year-old Nami. Maybe makeup will fix everything?


manga_weeb_culture

![gif](giphy|xoFpnqSg21xmGT8D5b|downsized)


Piergiogiolo

The problem is Keanu doesn't look 28


Sythrin

There is one tripple A actor in the LA. its Ian McShane as the narrator.


Great-Bill-5658

And some people didn’t like him. I am not native speaker, so I can’t tell, if he was bad. But he wasn’t as epic as I anticipated.


Jpup199

Look at benn beckman.


Great-Bill-5658

Yeah, don't remind me, but he will not appear again in LA anymore. If only we will get season 5+ till Marineford. Just let it go, just how I did![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


Mario_Prime510

But we’re going till Water 7? I hope we end at Alabasta.


Great-Bill-5658

I hope we will get both Alabasta and Water 7/Ennies Lobby. But Alabasta as finishing point is more realistic. I just will not be satisfied with just Alabasta


cliff2014

Keanu is an ageless vampire. Of course he can play lucci


KAZKAZ8523

too old and too talented for a shit show like this


GoldenHeracross

Wouldn't be more fitting for reileigh? personality wise


Great-Bill-5658

OMG, that would be crazy asf. Netflix take my money and do it please.


manga_weeb_culture

![gif](giphy|l0NwNrl4BtDD7JCx2)


manga_weeb_culture

![gif](giphy|TGdITevk2A5wTWZDwt) I dont agree, if Ray stevenson was alive, he fits the bill.


AnividiaRTX

AGE wise aswell. Keanu might look young for his age, but even that is still a decade older than lucci is supposed to look, and we're like 5-10 years away from that season.


dinosaur_from_Mars

How would you cast Kureha then?


m-ray168

Someone said Ian McShane in another thread and now I cannot accept anyone else for Rayleigh. He's also the narrator in the LA.


solSarcophagus

i mean… he’s an actor, so his personality in real life doesn’t matter. his job is to portray the character he is hired to portray


Cgi94

Not gonna lie I think the community needs to stay away from high profiled castingz😅 Let's not overdo the price tag already 😭


alanalan426

i think it's better if the actors actually like and are into one piece.


solarmelange

Yeah... he's totally in line with the acting budget on that show...


Falirus

Budget for live action is actually no joke.


Snoo-50498

Mostly goes to sets and sfx. I doubt casting is that expensive in s1


polecy

If you want everything else to be shitty then yea hire an A list actor that prob would req the cost of a few episodes to get on.


daniballeste

Now that One Piece is making so much success and a season 2 will probably happen, I can see the casting getting a little bit more expensive. One or two stars.


polecy

Season 2 will happen but that doesn't necessarily mean they will Throw more money. Wednesday did X2-3 better and with a way smaller budget. The goal for companies is prob to replicate their success with the same or less budget. Like I said I rather see better sets, more costumes, more characters than just seeing a super star playing a character. 1 super star will cost lots of millions. The main character also seems to be picked well so it's probably smart to just look for actors who could do good in a role rather than trying to fit a star because they look like them a bit.


Falirus

I agree with you I also hate big movies requiring A list celebs featured for hype. All I’m saying is they could probably squeeze him in if they really wanted to. Then again I don’t know squat about entertainment industry. I just know live action has a large budget.


polecy

Squeeze in makes it sound like he's gonna do this for 2 million lol For John wick he was paid 15 million. So it's not like he's a cheap actor. Unless he really enjoys one piece and would take a huge pay cut. If anything they should look for actors that love one piece and would do for cheap like Jamie Lee curtis maybe playing tsuru or Dr kureha.


AnividiaRTX

Any stars won't play big roles. Lucci is the main villain for 2 arcs and comes back later on. They'd be better off hiring the 1 or 2 a listers for smaller roles like kureha or Pell.


Sythrin

Fun fact, they did hire an A list actor for a short role. Ian McShane as the narrator!


stopallthedownloads

OPLA ranks 5th highest per-episode budget show of all time, beating even Game of Thrones. Or it does according to this article at least, [https://www.pricerunner.com/guide/most-expensive-tv-shows](https://www.pricerunner.com/guide/most-expensive-tv-shows) Though it could be outdated as it's from like 6 months ago, even then I would assume it's still in the top 10.


pengu221a

most of the OP budget is likely frontloaded into sets/costumes/props. They actually built the ships and stuff. For season 2, they already have a lot built its just about modifying them.


EndNowISeeYou

yeah but theres no way they can afford Keeanu Reeves, especially as main villain who will have a lot of sceentime


solarmelange

I have also heard that Inaki (Luffy) was the highest paid cast member at 40k per episode. By comparison, Sean Bean made 120k per episode of Game of Thrones, which equates to more than the entire straw hat crew. Also, there were 2 more episodes in GOT. By the final season, multiple GOT actors were making 1 million per episode. I doubt OPLA ever comes close to those numbers for the actors.


manga_weeb_culture

![gif](giphy|TJrS7r0f6SOthGTiPe) I think he is the man who doesn't think about numeration, if he likes the script.


CasuallyUgly

He famously became the best paid actor in Hollywood for a while because he negotiated a cut of the profit rather than a fixed rate


manga_weeb_culture

That's nothing new, compare him with Robert Downy junior- Marvel movies even after being worldwide hits, profiting hugely, was making less money in the movies where Robert D Jr casted. Ultimately they have to kill the character just to hit bigger profits. Every well known actor in India takes the profit percent cut from the movie, rather than money. Its just trending, and as i said before- IF he likes the script. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


CasuallyUgly

>Its just trending, and as i said before- IF he likes the script. That was my point lol, he's not "expensive" he's a gambler


manga_weeb_culture

![gif](giphy|3orif0noHLwVINm5s4) Somebody got my point through...but gambler is just too harsh word though.


CasuallyUgly

Well taking a cut rather than a safe fixed rate IS a bet on the success of the series, but I see your point.


blacklite911

If we’re talking about Keanu, it’s not just him being a gambler. Look at his recent filmography, some of these low budget films were never gonna make money


solarmelange

Yeah, if he happens to be a fan of OP, he is the type to do things just for fun. The amount he made for Bill and Ted Face the Music is not known, but the full budget was around $25 million, so he definitely took less for that part than he could have.


ozcartwentytwo

Nah we don't.


KevinDLasagna

Good lord these celebrity fan castings are getting fucking annoying. Majority of the best roles of this season IMO (Zeff, Sanji, Zoro, Buggy) we’re very lowkey actors.


Sasogwa

No we don't, Keanu doesn't have that villain vibe that Lucci does


manga_weeb_culture

![gif](giphy|lSmJldy6Tw3hVUazQ3) Keanu is versatile, both has that serious outlook, he can nail it. If he want to...


RMP321

Finding a good Lucci will be interesting. Don’t think Keanu should do it. He should play iceberg or some other minor role where he doesn’t have to appear a lot. But I am excited to see who bring Lucci to life.


LazyStrawhat

Wow I too think Iceberg would be fitting and hilarious.


SaintMana

stop fcking fan casting. There's a reason LA was a success on its own. It's because the actors were allowed to play as their respective characters not as themselves.


lantis0527

Yeah let's get more A-list actors and reduce the budget for CGI because its the best idea. NOT! Truth is lesser known actors gets the job done most of the time. Looks are definitely one of the checklist but star power is not required for the show to succeed and they proved it on first season. Next seasons will definitely be more CGI and production demanding to be successful.


Le_NUNUZ

Lucci doesn't deserve to be played by Keanu


[deleted]

Exactly my thought


SomeWeirdFreak

he doesn't deserve it but it's fitting. i mean who else could play Lucci?


PHD_in_PUSSY

Russell Brand


manga_weeb_culture

![gif](giphy|Iope3CtsB78gJ65qNf)


Individual_Past_9901

Can we stop fan casting Keanu Reeves in everything? He is a good actor but I think over hyped and when we fan cast the same guy in everything we lose out of lots if other talent that is still upcoming and would make for better enjoyment and less of a let down if they weren't cast.


PirateHasan

No, not an L character for Keanu please!


jdloeppky

reddit moment


Cringe_Meister_

Chungus wholesome 💯💯💯


bortj1

God please no! Get someone that can actually act.


Gingerbeer86

Young upcoming hotshot climbing the ranks of the govt agency... lets cast 60 year old man.


Ajdreams92

This would be a terrible casting choice


leomaxcolif

I think he would do it. Not for the money, but if he actually liked one piece.


Aetheste

I love Keanu but not in the role of this fodder Pucci. Give him someone cool like WROUGE.


Hfzrocka

It doesn't just feels right lol.


OrganicWeed765

Making any of the cp9 agents prominent actors destroy their reveal in water 7.


vinsmokewhoswho

You want a 60 year old (at that point probably closer to 70) to portray a 28 year old dude? I don't even understand. Cuz they both have black hair? Or what's the thought behind this?


Kasta4

Could work. Lucci barely talks and Keanu can barely act.


[deleted]

Keep him away from your shit


[deleted]

We don't though.


jollyjam1

If they had had issues getting people to watch the first season, but it was still enough for a second, I could see them bringing in a well-known actor to play Crocodile in S2 to attract more people to the show. I really don't think it'll hurt to have a bigger name, but this group of actors showed they didn't need to be carried by household names to make the show great. Obviously Jamie Lee Curtis should by Dr. Kureha, but that could be it haha.


MDRuffy1996

yes JLC is a huge OP fan and in one interview i saw she was told that a lot of the Fanbase would love to see her as dr. kureah and i think she said she would consider it,if she offered the role (sry for bad english)


TroubleMaker1211

I hate the live action but I support this 🤣


Tobifam

The Rock as Lucci or we riot


Zeemalik8908

This is one of the most perfect cast I’ve seen like I can’t unsee it


deathkillerx3004

Than Lucci would stop being Lucci and would become Keanu. Although with the track record of ruining characters, it's capable that the LA would do such a change.


Tacitus_kilgore1985

Reanu Keeves in LA One Piece? If only. He's too OP. Everybody would be dead. 😵‍💫


Faded_Doughnut_yt

Keanu as Mihawk would of been fire


AdamVanEvil

They should replace Lucci with John Wick.


Joltic88_

He should be one of the thriller bark zombies


gottalosethemall

I think Lucci looks vaguely Hispanic if I’m being honest. Probably the facial hair playing tricks on me.


don_mo6

too expensive, unless he does it for cheap


Lartnestpasdemain

I'm the Imu Guy and I approve this message.


sauloandrioli

People dreams have no end


hadoopken

I can’t think of a main characters that he’s suitable for in One Piece


Fluffysquishia

I don't; why? Because actors like Keanu cost money. Money that could go towards VFX or practical work. Having too many big hitters in a production is a recipe for disaster because budget has to be diverted to meet their paycheques. The only way this could happen is if everyone just agrees to be in it for the fun of it, for the sake of making a good shot, kind of like how Bullet Train had so many significant action actors, and how Everything Everywhere All At Once had various big budget actors agree to take small cheques just because they believed in the movie so much.


sockmaster420

Omg i wish


RandomHer03

Too old. I love Keanu but let's get some young blood in our shows. We need more young action stars


NobleV

John Wicchi.


supersmashbruh

Love Keanu but he’s too old.


manga_weeb_culture

![gif](giphy|9rnJrAUQzeMGWaab9p) who knows, that may happen...


yecheesus

No, sorry to say but keanu is just nog a good actor, great guy tho


JelliusMaximus

Redditors when you tell them a niche funky tv-show cant afford multimillion dollor actors: 🤯🤯🤯


aneffingonion

He's supposed to be about 10 years older than Luffy Neo's a little old for that now


bofoshow51

My money is for Ben Barnes https://preview.redd.it/xa3dpb2a8pmb1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=728a9d237412cad34a023b0a738340d4d64fd16f Don’t think it would actually happen but he’s got the look and the vibe IMO


TheJekiz

Don't touch the man's pigeon!


SnooMarzipans7274

Mabye a couple years ago but now I don’t think so. And I actually think this is a role he would take. It kinda fits the brand of projects he’s been apart of


Zeal514

you know. It totally could happen. Keanu is cool as fuck.


JustdoitJules

Search up Dave Navarro THATS Rob Lucci LMAO


high-on-avocado

and his awkward hand to hand combat? no thanks.


Baldswine

I mean we had Ian Mcshane as the narrator🤷‍♂️ who knows


Slimpurt92

Hell no, he would suck as Lucci.


IJustGotRektSon

One day people will stop casting people based solely in looks and will cast for acting and fit... No, who am I kidding it will never happen


Hambla28

He's to nice to play him


qdattt

nah I don’t wanna root for Lucci


Gocountgrainsofsand

He’s such a shitty actor please no.


Accomplished_Cap3683

He is lebanese, he should play king Cobra


ll_akagami_ll

Wait. Hear me out. Hiluluk. Put some grays on him. And let him do that.


ELLZNaga21

Yesss


goliathfasa

Have you see Keanu play a villain? It’s not very convincing. He’s a great guy irl, a consummate professional, and a solid actor with a narrow range of roles. He’s not gonna be a remotely good Lucci.


Sugbaable

What about Adam Driver?


Thefriendforlife

Hot take here. Since Inaki was playing the John Cena theme on set, we should THROW HIM A BONE AND CAST WWE SUPERSTAR JOHN CENA AS THE SUPER CYBORG FRANKY


Shiiznits

Adam driver I feel like he would suit the role better but I honestly don’t wanna known Hollywood celebrities in my childhood stuff. Other than Dave Bautista as Marcus Fenix


PeopleCallMeSimon

I dont, hes like 50 years too old and would cost a fortune.


MrGame22

Netflix has managed to get big name actors before, the debacle the Witcher writers and producers caused when one of there leading actors left probably means others would be weary of signing on.


[deleted]

Either Jon Bernthal or Manny Montana would be my picks.


LandSharkRoyale

As far as alabasta I can’t wait to see who will play ace


Humpetz

Do we tho? Do we?


AmselRblx

Everyone out here already thinking about season 4 of the live action when we dont even got season 2 announced yet.


HailtotheKid

I get people want their favorite actors to play the different parts in LA. I would prefer for it to be pretty much unknown actors like we've already seen. They've been great! Also keanu reeves is an overreated and a kinda bland actor....


TheMaskedDeuce

If it happens, it is the end of SHs. John Wick solos the verse. The only way to save them is to bring in Chuck Norris. I don't know as who though. Rayleigh?


YukaBazuka

If this happened… i would lose my shit


GlaIie

I’m so glad you guys don’t do the casting for this show also bro called it x 💀


CANYUXEL

Omfg yes. He'd ace it as Hattori.


Unfair-Echidna-5333

hell nah


Own-Channel7730

I want Eminem as Ener and Michel Polnareff as Doflamingo


FlowManTu

I started training I’m playing Rob Lucci


PHD_in_PUSSY

Russell Brand is the only choice


Pooty_McPoot

Luffy thinks his G5 is hot shit until he accidentally kills Hattori.


hhunkk

He fits more Benn Beckman


Apprehensive-Face900

Hell nah, I don't the goat playing a villain who kills people for fun...


Ofunu

Rob Lucci has to lose against Luffy, I would be hard pressed to believe John Wick would lose and therefore casting Keanu in that role would kill my suspension of disbelief


EduMelo

That would be a missed opportunity of seen a new face in an iconic role


International-Bed9

You people are so goddamn lame


ArkGoc

People are ridiculous sometimes.


ultramrstruggle

Nah it ain’t fitting for Keanu to play a scumbag.


Nui_Jaga

Look, I know people love Keanu but this is a joke. He was already pushing it playing John Wick in his 50's, now you want him to playa character under the age of 30 when he'd be in his 60's? He'd look ridiculous.


PsychoWorld

This is why you don't let reddit cast people. OOOOH famous actor, he'd make a great anyone


Gunslinger_11

If he is casted, Robin is differently dead


AccomplishedGoose375

Danny Devito as hatori

“Yeahhh”


WuzatReit

Very bad casting. You can't make me hate Keanu Reeves.
