Netflix Chooses Perfect Performer for Mr. 2 in One Piece Upcoming Installment

The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the major clash won’t take place until the third season, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.

Netflix announced this week that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Mr. 2. The role has the ability to transform into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that character re-envisioned as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the initial comic and anime.

The new cast member is joined by a number of recently announced actors set to bring the group to life, featuring chief Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the ensemble as the ruler of Alabasta.

Though Bon Clay is a important part of Baroque Works, the persona will be introduced in One Piece the third season. Considering the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this represents a major departure in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could suggest additional alterations to the narrative framework.

Escola’s blend of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
