In an interview with Deadline, live-action One Piece showrunners Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements revealed that Jamie Lee Curtis will not be playing the role of Doctor Kureha. Someone else will, though they have not revealed who yet. [Thanks, Deadline!]
Confirmation appeared near the start of the interview when Deadline writer Nellie Andreeva provided a summary on the contents of the article. The topic appeared a little later on when discussing filming for the live-action adaptation for One Piece. Clements stated that Jamie Lee Curtis was excited to appear as Doctor Kureha. However, she was unable to fit the role into her schedule. She was reportedly disappointed that she couldn’t appear on the show. To conclude the topic, Clements stated that they’ve found “an amazing person” to appear as Doctor Kureha.
In One Piece, Doctor Kureha was a doctor on Drum Island, though people feared her as a witch. She was the one who mentored Chopper, as well as the one who took him in and served as his adoptive mother. Doctor Kureha is an eccentric woman who tends to threaten her patients and forcefully examine them. Despite her advanced age, she is still very healthy and strong.
The Netflix adaptation of One Piece is readily available on the streaming service. The second season should come out some time in late 2025.
