The Promised Neverland live-action adds Isabella and Krone. Keiko Kitagawa will play Isabella (“Mama”), while comedian Naomi Watanabe will play Krone.
Kitagawa, who has read the manga, commented that the manga was interesting, and she was drawn into the manga’s world, but she had a hard time deciding how to portray her character, and she only decided at the last minute. She added that, “any actor would understand how hard the manga is to adapt. I definitely thought that preserving the worldbuilding of the manga with the same quality was impossible. In the end, director Hirakawa decided that he would not change Isabella’s age and character at all.”
Watanabe commented that she tackled her character while consulting closely with the director. She added that, “the kids became very shy around the larger-than-life Krone. I want to be an obstacle to the kids alongside Isabella.”
