As a seasoned gamer and avid anime fan with a soft spot for One Piece, I must say that the casting of Joe Manganiello as Crocodile in Netflix’s Season 2 is nothing short of a masterstroke! With his impressive physique and acting chops, Manganiello has the potential to bring the cunning and ruthless Sir Crocodile to life in a way that will leave fans breathless.
The live-action adaptation of One Piece, currently airing on Netflix, is gearing up for Season 2, and the showrunner has specifically envisioned Joe Manganiello for the character of Mr. 0 (also known as Sir Crocodile). Filming for season 2 began earlier this year, and fans have been receiving regular updates about the new characters and plotlines to anticipate. Among these updates, we now know that Crocodile is one of the formidable enemies that Monkey D. Luffy will face in the future.
In a exciting turn of events for anime enthusiasts, Netflix’s second season of ‘One Piece’ will see Joe Manganiello step into the character of Crocodile. A sneak peek video shared by Netflix showcases the series’ showrunner Matt Owens, who expresses that Manganiello was his top choice from the beginning for this role. In the video, Owens shares that Manganiello was “the first person, and the only one in my mind to do this.” From Manganiello’s own accounts of his preparation for the part, along with his evident enthusiasm among fans, it seems he is the ideal pick for bringing Crocodile to life.
How Much Manganiello Has Researched Into Crocodile
In his explanation about his preparation for the One Piece role, Manganiello mentioned that he has an abundance of various Crocodile figures and seating arrangements. However, he emphasized that for him, authenticity is crucial. This is even more important when portraying a character often labeled as a ‘villain’, as Crocodile simply follows a different agenda than other characters. Through his research, Manganiello also discovered some fresh insights about the nature of Crocodile’s character.
However, as Manganiello elaborated, this character presents a stark contrast to Luffy. He symbolizes a grim possibility for Luffy’s future if he succumbs to or lets the pain of defeat consume him, similar to my own experience. There seems to be within Crocodile a desire to inflict suffering upon others, reminiscent of his torment after Whitebeard, or the disillusionment of not becoming Pirate King and holding onto that disappointment. Moreover, there’s a lack of trust in friends that characterizes him. Yet, Manganiello is eager to delve deeper into his character for further exploration.
What Will Crocodile Do in One Piece Season 2
He shared that he’s committed to delivering an exceptional performance, out of respect for the fans, Oda, [Owens], and everyone else who has contributed to the show’s success over its 25-year run. He’s thrilled about approaching Alabasta and diving into his work. However, there’s a hint of anticipation as well, since Manganiello is also alluding to the well-known Alabasta location, which may have a brief appearance in Season 2.
In the One Piece series, the creator Eiichiro Oda previously announced that upcoming episodes will cover the Loguetown, Reverse Mountain (Twin Cape), Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island storylines from the manga. However, it’s possible that, similar to the first season of the live-action series, we might catch a glimpse of the Alabasta saga before the Straw Hat pirates actually arrive there.
