Netflix Chooses Spot-On Star for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
The platform declared this week that the talented performer has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Mr. 2. The role has the ability to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. The performer, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a rendition of that character reimagined as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag queen, in the live-action show, unlike the source material and anime.
The new cast member joins a number of recently announced actors set to bring the group to life, including chief Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the lineup as the monarch of the fictional land.
Though the role is a key figure of the organization, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Given season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this represents a notable change in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could indicate further changes to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the role. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
