Ever since the live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece was released, fans have been wanting to see their favorite characters join the cast of the series. One such character that fans hope could enter the live-action adaptation is Charlotte Katakuri, the second son of Charlotte Linlin. His popularity widely increased after his battle with Luffy during the Whole Cake Island arc.
Although the character was a villain, his presence and his personality have made him quite famous amongOne Piecefans. Also, he was one of the strongest opponents Luffy ever faced. Fans would certainly love to see Katakuri be a part of theOne Piecelive-action adaptation series by Netflix, but his arc is way ahead.
But this hasn’t stopped fans from finding the right actor to play the character’s role in the live-action series. The fans have chosen popular actor Henry Cavill to be the one to play Katakuri’s role. Him being Katakuri means so much toOne Piecefans that they have started the rumor about Cavill talking about the character and admitting his desire to play the role.
The Unexpected Popularity of Charlotte Katakuri inOne Piece
The introduction of the Big Mom Pirates inOne Piecewas one of the biggest turning points in the history of the series. It not only revealed Big Mom, one of the legendary Yonko of the Sea, but also her crew, which comprised a lot of powerful members who were all related to each other and shared the Charlotte name.

Among the crew members, the strongest character was Charlotte Katakuri, one of the Three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates. He was the second son of Big Mom, and although he had thepower of the Mochi Mochi no Mi, he was mostly known for his Haki abilities. In fact, he was one of the first characters to introduce Future Sight.
His unparalleled Haki strength and his calm, serious, and diligent personality connected a lot withOne Piecefans. So much so that the fans started hoping for the Big Mom Pirates to become an ally of the Straw Hat Pirates when Big Mom was killed, as it would havemade Katakuri the captain of their crew.
The Biggest Katakuri Rumor
Because of Katakuri’s immense popularity, fans ofOne Piecebegan clamoring for the character to be included in the live-action adaptation series, despite his arc being miles away from the storyline of the live-action series. Not only that, fans even choseHenry Cavillto play the role of Katakuri if he ever made an appearance in theOne Piecelive-action series.
But the excitement of seeing theMan of Steelactor portray the role of Katakuri reached such an extent that rumors of the actor praising Katakuri and wanting to play the role began surfacing on the internet.
