Will Fans Get a New One Piece Movie
The last One Piece movie, One Piece Film Red, was released back in 2022. One Piece: Film Red was a huge success at the box office, becoming one of the highest-grossing Japanese movies of all time. With how popular One Piece has especially been right now worldwide, dropping a movie would only make sense.
It took around 3 years for a new movie to be released following Film Gold, and also Stampede. So, based on that, now is the time for a new One Piece movie.
