The Streaming Giant Chooses Perfect Star for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Season 3
Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t unfold until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
Netflix announced Tuesday that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Mr. 2. This character possesses the power to transform into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve touched with their dominant hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a rendition of that figure reinterpreted as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action series, differing from the initial comic and animated series.
This performer is joined by several other fresh additions who will portray Baroque Works to the screen, such as head Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, a talented actress as a key member, and a familiar face, who will appear as the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Though Bon Clay is a key figure of the group, the character won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. Given season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could indicate more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the role. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
