Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a adored, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.

The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Mr. 2. This character possesses the power to transform into an exact copy of any person they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that role reimagined as non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, as in the initial comic and cartoon version.

The new cast member will work alongside a number of recently announced actors set to bring the group to life, including leader the main antagonist, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and a familiar face, who will appear as the cast as the monarch of Alabasta.

Though Bon Clay is a major member of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could suggest further changes to the narrative framework.

Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the part. In addition to their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.

Netflix's live-action One Piece show is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
