The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Star for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the major clash won’t unfold until the next season, and a beloved, popular member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the talented performer has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Mr. 2. The role has the ability to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that figure reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action show, differing from the original manga and animated series.
This performer will work alongside a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing the organization to life, including leader Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who is also part of the ensemble as the ruler of the fictional land.
Though this character is a major member of Baroque Works, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Considering the second season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this signals a significant shift in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could signal additional alterations to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the part. Along with their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its season two on March 10, 2026.
