The Streaming Giant Casts Perfect Star 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, even if the major clash isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a beloved, popular member has just been cast.
Netflix announced this week that the talented performer has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Mr. 2. The role possesses the power to transform into an exact copy of any individual they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. Escola, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that character reimagined as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action show, differing from the original manga and cartoon version.
The new cast member will work alongside a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing Baroque Works to life, such as leader Sir Crocodile, portrayed by the well-known actor, a talented actress as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as the monarch of the fictional land.
Even though the role is a important part of the group, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. With the second season likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this represents a significant shift in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could suggest additional alterations to the plot development.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the character. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
