The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Actor for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Season 3
Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.
Netflix announced recently that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Mr. 2. Bon Clay possesses the power to morph into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve touched with their dominant hand. Escola, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that role re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action series, as in the initial comic and anime.
Escola is joined by a number of fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to life, such as head the main antagonist, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of Alabasta.
Even though this character is a important part of the group, the persona won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Considering the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this marks a notable change in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the narrative framework.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the character. Besides their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
