Netflix Chooses Spot-On Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the true confrontation won’t unfold until the next season, and a cherished, popular member has now been chosen.
The platform declared Tuesday that the talented performer has joined the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Mr. 2. The role has the ability to change into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve touched with their main hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that figure reinterpreted as non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the source material and cartoon version.
Escola joins a number of fresh additions set to bring the group to reality, including chief Sir Crocodile, played by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the cast as the monarch of Alabasta.
Even though the role is a important part of the group, the character will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Considering the next season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this signals a significant shift in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could suggest more adjustments to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the role. In addition to their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is due to premiere for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
