2022 has been a phenomenal year for One Piece and its fans with so many great manga chapters, anime episodes, and most importantly, the film. One Piece Film: Red broke record after record throughout the year, and now the franchise is planning to do it again.
Previously, Oda had stated multiple times that the manga was about to end soon, making us sad but excited to have all the answers finally. With the manga already in its final saga, it is time to wrap up other things, like the films.
In a tweet made by Jinbe’s cast, Katsuhisa Houki, the actor mentioned that the next One Piece film is already under production. He did not elaborate much on the topic and just put it out there casually.
Since the tweet was made in December 2022, we expect to see some teasers or an official announcement from the franchise soon. We might get more information on it after the summer season is over.

If you follow actor Houki on Twitter, you know how he loves to update fans on his everyday life and the projects he’s working on. During the production and release of the recent Slam Dunk movie and One Piece Film: Red, we got daily updates from Houki on how things were going.
In a similar tweet about One Piece Film: Red’s box office collection, Houki mentioned that another project from the franchise is under work. He didn’t reveal what it was about and left it to the curious and anxious fans to speculate.
While some fans joked about how the new film will be called ‘One Piece Film: Blue’ and feature Buggy, others were seriously thinking about the possible plotlines. Since Oda sensei will be in charge of the story, there’s no way any of us can know what it will be about.
So, let’s wait patiently for an official announcement. Also, I’d like to remind you that the tweet might just be a mistranslation, so don’t get your hopes up high too soon.
About One Piece
One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 22, 1997.
The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, is Gol D. Roger. The final words he said at the execution tower were “My treasures? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!
Seeking to be the greatest pirate in the world, young Monkey D. Luffy also heads toward the Grand Line in search of One Piece. His diverse crew is joining him along the way, consisting of a swordsman, marksman, navigator, cook, doctor, archaeologist, and cyborg-shipwright, this will be one memorable adventure.
