The Streaming Giant Selects Ideal Performer for Mr. 2 in One Piece Third Season
Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the true confrontation won’t take place until the third season, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The platform declared this week that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Mr. 2. This character possesses the power to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. Escola, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a version of that figure reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the original manga and anime.
The new cast member joins several other fresh additions tasked with bringing Baroque Works to life, such as head Sir Crocodile, played by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Although Bon Clay is a important part of the organization, the character will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this signals a significant shift in the placement of their first appearance, one that could suggest additional alterations to the story’s structure.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the role. In addition to their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
