Days before the upcoming One Piece live-action adaptation comes out

Ahead of Netflix’s One Piece Live Action Release, Here Are the Actors That Can Bring Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto to Life

With only a couple of days left to go until the release of Netflix’s One Piece
live-action adaptation, there is an imminent buzz in the anime world. And with
the promise of Lionsgate’s upcoming Naruto live-action, it is impossible to not
want some of your favorites to be cast. In fact, with one of the largest fan
bases in the world, Lionsgate has their work cut out for them. But for the
live-action adaptation to be a success, it will take a lot of work to find the
right actors to bring Naruto to the big screen and ensure that the studio does
not let fans down.

And while the studio has had plans in the process since 2015, the latest one
would have fans seeing the live-action adaptation as soon as 2024. But with
silence on the Naruto front, the speculation has now begun.


3 ACTORS WHO SHOULD BE CAST IN NARUTO’S LIVE-ACTION

According to Screen Rant
[https://screenrant.com/naruto-live-action-movie-casting-actors/#sakura---oona-o-rsquo-brien],
there are only a few actors who would fit the mold and give fans a performance
better than they have ever dreamed of and capture the essence of the characters.
To ensure the continuation and acceptance of the live-action film, Lionsgate
will have to find the right actors for the roles.

While finding supporting characters may be easier, here are the actors who could
actually be a good fit for the main three characters of the decades-long series.


1) OAKES FEGLEY – NARUTO

Oakes Fegley as Naruto, could give fans the right dose of mischief but is said
to fit the character’s look. Being a young actor, doing not-so-childish things,
will help viewers empathize with the character. It will also help viewers feel a
connection to the franchise with the level of accuracy. Fegley has also starred
in multiple hit films since 2011, which gives him the experience needed to pull
off such an in-depth character.

2) TENZING NORGAY TRAINOR – SASUKE

Tenzing Norgay Trainor is originally a Disney kid who was cast on the show Liv
and Maddie. But his background in martial arts can really help the actor nail
Sasuke’s character, who has a rather dark past and was forced to grow up too
soon. The Freeridge actor can also fit the character’s look with the help of the
right costume team.

3) OONA O’BRIEN – SAKURA

While Sakura is the weakest (in terms of powers) of the group, the character
goes on to become one of the most powerful in the series. The only actress who
has proved she can live up to that is Oona O’Brien from Cobra Kai. While there
are similarities between the characters, this role could show viewers another
side of the actress.

Fans might be in for a long wait before any casting details of the live-action
Naruto will be announced. Despite a hopeful 2024 release, with the SAG-AFTRA
strike and other issues, delays are inevitable.
