What's up Geekly Goods fam! 🤯 Huge news, you guys, Charles Melton is reportedly in final talks to play Kakashi Hatake in Destin Daniel Cretton's live-action Naruto movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
This genuinely explains a lot. It would make total sense why his potential Beast casting for the MCU's X-Men had been such a moving target for weeks, since he's clearly juggling talks on multiple major franchise roles at once. Kakashi is one of the most beloved characters in the entire Naruto manga, serving as the elite ninja mentor to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, and Melton's background as a second-degree taekwondo black belt and former Junior Olympics competitor makes him a genuinely strong physical fit for the role. Lionsgate is still running a global casting search for the three lead roles of Team 7, with production eyeing a start around February 2027.
Honestly, I love this casting. I feel like he's got the swagger and mysterious energy down perfectly, though I really want to see how they handle the hairstyle.
