Netflix Selects Ideal Star for Mr. 2 in One Piece Upcoming Installment

Baroque Works is set to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the major clash isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a cherished, fan-favorite member has just been cast.

Netflix announced recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bon Clay. The role can use their power to transform into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a rendition of that character reimagined as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action show, differing from the source material and cartoon version.

This performer is joined by multiple new cast members who will portray the group to reality, featuring chief Sir Crocodile, played by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the lineup as the ruler of Alabasta.

Although the role is a important part of the group, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this represents a notable change in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest further changes to the plot development.

Their mix of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the role. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is due to premiere for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
