Baroque Works is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t take place until season 3, and a adored, popular member has now been chosen.

The platform declared this week that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Mr. 2. The role has the ability to morph into an exact copy of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. The actor, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag artist, in the live-action series, as in the source material and anime.

The new cast member is joined by a number of fresh additions who will portray Baroque Works to reality, including head the main antagonist, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as a key member, and a familiar face, who will appear as the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.

Though Bon Clay is a important part of the group, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. With the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this represents a notable change in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could suggest more adjustments to the story’s structure.

Their mix of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the character. In addition to their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.

The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
