– Manganiello reportedly lands a role in the mainstream franchise, One Piece.
– Fans speculate that he will play the character of ‘Crocodile' in the upcoming season.
– Manganiello shows interest in One Piece on social media, following related accounts.
– However, no official statement confirms his role in One Piece as of now.
From Deathstroke to One Piece
Taking an unexpected turn, actor Joe Manganiello bounces back from the end of his till-now promising career at DCEU where he depicted the character of Slade Wilson, also known as Deathstroke. He climbed onto this role during Zach Snyder's reigning period at Justice League. However, when Snyder's empire came crashing down, so did Manganiello's role in it. The situation only got more complicated when James Gunn, current head of DC Studios and Manganiello's personal acquaintance, persuaded him against reprising his role.
New Horizons Awaiting
The collapse of DCEU seemingly crushed Manganiello's hopes of starring in a solo Deathstroke movie. Warner Bros. never prioritised the project, and the DCEU's dismantling hindered essential discussions about it. However, as they say, with every ending comes a new beginning, and it appears Manganiello has found his in One Piece. A notable scoop from MyTimeToShineHello gives us this hint, but we must take it with a pinch of salt until confirmed substantively.
Look Out for Crocodile!
One Piece is a blockbuster in mainstream media, and the scoop suggests Manganiello could be joining its second season. Manganiello's fans are already guessing that he will play the character of ‘Crocodile,' a major antagonist in true One Piece fashion. The speculation started when fans noticed Manganiello following the One Piece's showrunner and related accounts on Instagram. However, this alone does not confirm his role – we need to wait for an official announcement.
A Potential Antagonist
Why do fans suspect Manganiello to play ‘Crocodile' in One Piece? The actor, with his previous experience with characters having a dark side, looks suitable for the role. A flurry of tweets urging him to step into ‘Crocodile's' shoes supports this assumption. We can, therefore, anticipate that if Manganiello accepts this role, it might be well received by the fans.
Of Endings and New Beginnings
In conclusion, Manganiello's abrupt end as Deathstroke was a disappointment not just for him but also for his fans. Yet his hint of joining One Piece has stirred excitement about his future projects. While it would be nice to see him back as Deathstroke, we can't ignore the fresh start awaiting him as ‘Crocodile.' James Gunn leaving options for reviving Deathstroke leaves a glimmer of hope, but a return for Manganiello in this role is still uncertain.
As of now, One Piece is available to watch on Netflix, and we are all curious to see if Manganiello can win over fans as ‘Crocodile.' Note that all rumors stay rumors till we get an official confirmation. Fans are left hoping that an announcement about Manganiello's involvement in One Piece arrives soon.
