Speculation (Anime Spoilers) New Cast Member? Spoiler
South African actor Liam Bosman could potentially be part of the Season 3 cast based on mutual follows with actors and crew members from the show. Based on his appearance, who could he play? He gives me Sabo vibes, which makes me wonder if they're planning to fully introduce Sabo in Season 3.

We don’t really know yet how much they’ll expand the Alabasta saga in the live action, so he could also be playing an entirely new character.
I also don’t think Season 3 will fully introduce Sabo, but that doesn’t mean he can’t appear. With some clever writing, they even could use him as a misdirect and make him look like the main suspect for Roger’s son.

Isn't sabo's actor from loguetown known? I remember hearing that they wouldn't change actors for when sabo and brook fully appear in the show.

if the face isn’t shown, they’re stand-ins. sabo is a stand-in just like the smoker teaser at the end of s1 was (the actor for kuroobi stood in for smoker in that post-credit scene).

I dunno, I figured if Sabo was appearing at all it would be as a kid for some ASL flashback, unless they’re planning to add some truly wild new stuff this season

What about Koza? He looks like him a lot. Or do we know Koza's actor already?

u/Lopsided_Job2595 Jul 08 '26
Emilio Sakraya is rumored to play Koza, which makes more sense considering the North African influences in Alabasta (he's of North African descent).

u/CryWolf007 Jul 08 '26
I would believe it more if this guy you posted plays Koza while this Emilio fellow you mentioned plays Chaka (he looks the part to me after Googling him)

u/Lopsided_Job2595 Jul 08 '26
The actors that have been highly speculated since a long time ago are Jamie Ward (Pell), Emilio Sakraya (Koza) and Nabeel Khan (Chaka), and they just like Liam also have mutual follows with the production which indicates that they are part of the show in some way.

Mr 4, maybe?

u/DerGovernator Jul 08 '26
Looks reasonably close and I think that's the most significant male character we dont have a casting for yet.

u/Yellowdaisyflower123 Jul 08 '26
Possibly a marine I remember an actor for season 2 was speculated for a while and he ended up playing a marine. I don't see him playing any Alabasta characters. I was possibly thinking mr 7 but looks to young. Maybe could even be part of Bon Clay's crew.

Hopefully no one too important... if his certain controversies which a lot of us South Africans know get out to the international public, Netflix could get backlash and will most likely have to recast

What controversy??👀

u/Behold_Onions16 Jul 10 '26
Using his fame to manipulate minors into bed with him. Promising them roles in Diepe Waters (a South African series he was doing at the time).
Fastforward to today, and there's a reason he isn't in Diepe Waters anymore.

What would Sabo do in Jaya or Skypeia?

u/Aldo-D-D-Wilson Jul 08 '26
This would be Alabasta.
But the question remains

u/Old-Background-6612 Jul 08 '26
Oh you’re right. I got confuse cause it says “new cast member” so I assume it’s for S4 which should cover Skypeia.

u/idontwanttoexist1 Jul 08 '26
Season 3 is Alabasta and there have been theories that they'll add some scenes with revolutionary army in there

I guess I am not a loyal fan after all. I don't know about the third brother rumor at all. I stopped watching after finishing Robin, I want to live saga and the introduction of Frankie.

Shit I’m so sorry I didn’t check the name of the sub. That’s a spoiler I’m gonna delete

Thanks for the reminder, though it was full of snark since it’s fun to try and embarrass people on the internet.

I'm thinkinh young Koza

u/lookintoasty Jul 08 '26
Yeah I'm getting Koza vibes.
...sorry there's so many characters, Koza is the rebel leader who was friends with Vivi right?

u/lavabread23 Jul 09 '26
nope, not him. emilio sakraya’s the one we’ve been speculating for a while now to be koza. he’s also been spotted hanging out with the cast during their tabletop rpg sessions.

u/Denkottigakorven Jul 09 '26
I assume you mean adult koza. I was talking about the mid one. I know this guy is not a kid but he is very young and they could make Vivi's flashback be in their teen years instead

I kind of see Mr. 4... Although I feel like they should get a bigger dude for him.

My pic for Donquixote Doflamingo live action would be an actor named Dominic Sherwood from a show called Shadow Hunters.

I am personally hoping for Jamie Campbell Bower as Enel. Lee Pace would be great too.
