“She’s my second choice”. Fans Already Have the Perfect Replacement for Dr. Kureha in Glee Star Jane Lynch as Oscar-Winning Actress ‘Got deals in first position’
- After the exit of the Oscar Winning actress from the Netflix live-action adaptation, fans believe Jane Lynch would be the perfect replacement.
- Fans have taken to X (formely known as Twitter) to voice their desire to see the Glee star in the upcoming season.
- Fans aren't happy with not casting the Oscar-winning actress and screen queen in the live-action adaptation.
Fans have taken to social media platforms to voice their desire to see Jane Lynch cast as Dr. Kureha. The tweet became quite popular among fans who believe Lynch would be a perfect fit for the role due to her acting skills, physical appearance, and desire to play the role.
She is the second choice after Jamie Lee Curtis’s exit from the live-action adaptation, confirmed by Becky Clements on Deadline. Fans demanded the Glee star should be in the role, as Curtis wasn’t in the plan. And this makes more sense since the actress shares a resemblance to Curtis as well.
Fans Want Jane Lynch Cast For Dr. Kureha’s Role
Ever since it was announced that season 2 of One Piece is in the production phase, many fans have been speculating about who will be Dr. Kureha. Despite Jamie Lee Curtis’s interest in and love for One Piece, her hectic work schedule and lack of availability force producers to look for other options.
With not many actresses perfect for the role, fans believe they have found the perfect actor for Dr. Kureha. Given many memorable performances in TV shows and films, fans took to X and claimed that Jane Lynch would be the perfect Dr. Kureha in Netflix’s live-action adaptation, if given the chance.
Jamie Lee Curtis will not be playing the role of Doctor Kureha in One Piece Live Action.

I hope the actress they chose for this role does well and I hope to see Curtis in another One Piece character. pic.twitter.com/n52SmCGEH5

She was so on board before she went on full Zionist on the Internet, so I’m guessing that’s the real reason. Still, I’m happy to see another actress make a dream come true later in life as I was elated for all the older actors in season one! (@run_10)
But some fans aren’t happy with not casting the Oscar-winning actress and screen queen in the live-action adaptation. Given her interest in the original show and love for the characters, she is more suitable than any other. But her demand is towering and she is already busy with TV shows and movies, which would have left her with less time for the show.
The final decision is in the casting directors’ hands, in the form of Junie Lowery-Johnson and Libby Goldstein.
Is Jane Lynch a good option for the role of Dr Kureha?
We do not know if Jane Lynch will be cast as Dr Kureha or not, but it is clear why fans are so excited for her to play the role of Dr Kureha. Jane Lynch is a talented actress better known to many as Sue Sylvester. She has been in the Entertainment industry for decades, giving many memorable performances throughout her lifetime.
She first gained recognition for her role in the popular television show Glee and has since starred in several successful TV shows and films, including The Fugitive. Lynch’s physical appearance and humor make her an ideal candidate for the role of Dr. Kurena. She was part of many films in which her character resembles Dr. Kurena, an old, skinny lady with an attitude, and a sense of humor.
Another factor that made Jane Lynch an ideal candidate to play the role of Dr. Kurena is her immense popularity and fan base. She has a dedicated base of loyal fans who would love to see her new avatar. And this might further increase the popularity of One Piece live-action. Casting is still underway and no official release date is available yet.
