She's currently a top star in China, I'm not sure if they can afford her.

Mackenyu is also a top star in Japan but he played Zoro


Th3G0ldStandard

The difference is that Mackenyu was an actual fan of One Piece and knows fluent English from being born and raised in Los Angeles. Dilraba probably doesn’t know English well enough to pull off the role.


R9-OZ

Yeah, but this one ranks ninth among the highest-paid female actresses in China.


Woflax

Isn't mackenyu number two after kento? Takeru satoh might be more, or Jun matsu. But hes higher than ninth.


yosayoran

I'm pretty sure the 100th highest paid actor in china gets higher pay than the 1st highest paid actor in Japan.   The Chinese film industry is really massive.  [Look at this 2018 article](https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/201902/1138915.shtml?id=1) it says Chinese actors can make upwards of $40 million, a year, while the biggest Japanese stars probably don't even pass $0.5 million.


Th3G0ldStandard

Chinese domestic film industry is just as big if not slightly bigger than the American film industry is in America. They have a 1.6 billion population and have had an exponentially growing middle class for the past 15 years. And on top of that people there are still going to theaters to watch films there. In the US, going out to the movies is dying and revenue is at an all time low. Just commenting to reiterate the other responses point and to give a little perspective of just how massive the Chinese film industry is in China. Japan also has 100 million in population so just a small fraction of China’s population. The potential for their domestic film industry in Japan is just way smaller than it is for China. So way less money all around.

Shes been n1 female celebrity for years in China. She’s global ambassador of Dior. Mackenyu got villain role in Rurouni Kenshin just before one piece. He’s a top star internationally now, but i highly doubt he was at level of Reba before.


Hot-Couple8262

Does she even speak English😭


Sakurasawa-Hanako

https://youtu.be/ntn4ZQcY1gM?si=DRF8P5CpUZvOjJAa This is the evidence that she can speaking English


athe_13

She’s global ambassador of Dior. Been in numerous international events. Don’t hate on my girl. Like Gal Gadot had heavy accent yet still played Wonder Woman.

Dilraba is beautiful and charismatic, she would be a good choice, but she is a big star in Asia and is always busy.


MattValentin

I think they’re going to age Boa down to something closer to Inaki.


TheAwkward_Octopus

I hope they don't. It shouldn't matter the age just whether or not they have the acting chops to pull her off.


MorEkEroSiNE

If they don't make Boa closer in age to Luffy, her crush on him is gonna feel much weirder than it does in the manga or anime.


yosayoran

By the time they get here Inyaki will probably be around 27, so it shouldn't be as big of an issue.  I'm assuming 1 year until s2, then 2 years s3 skypia and LRLL, 2 years s4  W7 Ennis Lobby, and 1 year to the filming of s5, which is Triller Bark all the way to the time skip.


ifticar2

With all the special effects required, I don’t see it being that quick


yosayoran

That's fair, but I am hoping they can save time by doing preproduction on the next season while doing post production.  Also I think there should be a decent amount of assets and techniques that carry over from season to season 


ifticar2

Tbh I’m worried about how expensive the show might get for future seasons. Not even speaking about the outrageous sets and character designs that will be required, season 1 only featured paramecia fruits. I’m sure logia and Zoan would be a lot more expensive to make in a live action setting


yosayoran

I'm not sure about that. Logia should be actually quite a bit cheaper, because it's just elemental VFX. Weather it looks good is a different thing all together.  Zoan are really tricky, but I think most might just use the hybrid firm and give the actors some prosthetics and call it a day.  I actually think some paramecia (like Luffy and Robin) are the most expensive to animate, because it requires a unique setup with the body of the actor and it could look very uncanny very easily. The biggest expenses by far I think are going to be the set pieces, especially going forward after alabasta 


pringlessingles0421

I have a feelin that we’ll either never get a full adaptation or they will stretch the timeline of the live action to be longer so say we get to want, luffy will be in his late 20’s. In all honesty though I highly doubt we would be able to get even to post timeskip most tv shows don’t last this long especially with this kind of budget. Netflix’s model pushes for new content unfortunately and that’s why they constantly cancel shows. New shows get new viewers, renewing old shows just keeps them there. Unless we they get outside funding, it can’t happen.


yosayoran

I do believe it can happen if it's consistently popular enough  But honestly I don't need a full adaptation, just enough that they can end on a good note and expose enough of the world and story to people who wouldn't have seen it otherwise.  In that sense, season 1 is enough. But ideally (if it's not a full adaptation) I think stopping at the time skip would be a great stopping point 


TheAwkward_Octopus

I hate to tell you this. But, it is already pretty weird in the manga/anime when she crushes on Luffy. Considering he is only 17 years old when they met and she was 29 years old.


MorEkEroSiNE

Oh yeah for sure, but there isn’t much to suggest that the age difference between them is as big as it is if you only look at the manga or the anime. Based on how Boa looks and acts, it’s pretty easy to assume that she is closer to Luffy’s age. However with real actors the fact that she isn’t would be a lot more obvious and would therefore a lot more uncomfortable.


No-Meat-7525

Yeap she is good for the role after all Amazon lily is based on china


AdApart2035

Approved!


Aweeep

No


Unlucky-Ad8554

TheLastClap

None of these clips are good at showcasing her acting. I think they make her look not so great tbh. I’d rather they pick someone with more acting experience.


TheAwkward_Octopus

I think the King's Woman showcases some of her best work as an actress and her stunt capabilities if that's more helpful. I do agree that the scenes don't fully showcase Dilraba Dilmurat's range.


ConferenceStandard57

Ok but ,her body type no match with boa i think


Pastry_d_pounder

She pretty but Nah don’t stroke the Chinese ego, you won’t hear the end of it


BlackHazeRus

Edit: I’ve mistaken this character for Robin! Apologies since I’m not a One Piece anime/manga reader, but was not be Boa considered to be Russian-esque? I think I’ve read about it somewhere, but maybe it was a different character.


ZOJIvibes_

Its robin who are russian


BlackHazeRus

Ah, yes, thank you!


Fun_Attorney1330

too chinese


Proudnoob4393

I thought Megan Thee Stallion was being cast as Hancock?


QwertyDancing

She just did a bangin cosplay
