Baroque Works is poised to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, even if the major clash isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has just been cast.

Netflix announced Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Mr. 2. This character can use their power to morph into an exact copy of anyone they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that figure reinterpreted as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action series, as in the original manga and cartoon version.

The new cast member joins a number of fresh additions who will portray the group to life, such as leader Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.

Even though Bon Clay is a major member of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Given season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this signals a major departure in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest more adjustments to the narrative framework.

The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the part. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.

The platform’s adapted One Piece program is set to return for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
