Those of you who have been dedicated One Piece fans for years aren't going to like me saying this, but the series is bigger than it has ever been before right now. Yes, I know it has a long-running anime based on a manga that is hundreds of chapters long, but One Piece's live-action adaptation on Netflix has opened the doors for so many new fans. That's why people have been scrambling for the first new Monkey D. Luffy Funko Pop! to be released since the adaptation dropped.
One Piece showrunner also wants Jamie Lee Curtis in season 2
26.09.2023 - 12:43 / gamesradar.com
It's not just One Piece fans who want Jamie Lee Curtis in the recently announced season 2 – the series showrunner Matt Owens is also on board with the fan-casting.
The actor herself seems keen to take on the role of Doctor Kureha, too, taking to Instagram to share a piece of fan art depicting herself as the character. "ONCE the STRIKE against the greed of the AMTPT is SETTLED with a FAIR CONTRACT, I will lobby along with the growing fan frenzy to become Doctor Kureha in @onepiecenetflix," she wrote, referring to the ongoing actors' strike.
"Mommy dearest, that's why we sent you that figure!" Owens commented on the post. "No need to lobby. Once we get what we deserve and get back to work let's talk!" The comment has nearly 6,000 likes at the time of writing, so it's safe to say that viewers are definitely supportive.
In the original anime, Kureha is an elderly doctor (or witch, depending on who you talk to) who works on Drum Island, and an ally of Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and the Straw Hats. She's also the mentor of Tony Tony Chopper – whose live-action season 2 introduction was teased in Netflix's renewal announcement.
This isn't the first time Curtis has mentioned One Piece, either. "Maybe I can be Kureha," she said during a red carpet interview at last year's Oscars ceremony, before the live-action Netflix show had even been released.

If you could create the next One Piece or Naruto, here’s your chance
Eiichiro Oda was 17 when he sold his first manga one-shot, opening the door for his now 26-year run with One Piece. Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto had a similar trajectory from one-shot to serialization, while Noriaki Kubo’s one-shot work led him to eventually create the mega-successful Bleach. All three legendary creators owe some success to former Weekly Shonen Jump editor-in-chief Hisashi Sasaki, who was on constant prowl for the next big mangaka. And now, Sasaki is turning his attention to the United States to do the same for Western artists looking for their big break.
