Season 2 of Netflix's live action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's global smash hit manga and anime One Piece is still a few months from release, but planning has already begun on season 3, with Tony Award winning Broadway star Cole Escola cast as fan favorite character Mister 2 (per Deadline).
Escola is best known for their award winning play Oh, Mary!, which they wrote and starred in as Mary Todd Lincoln. Escola's turn as Mister 2 seems incredibly appropriate, given that the villain is known for being theatrical - something a renowned Broadway star is likely to nail. In the show, Mister 2 will be portrayed as non-binary to reflect Escola's own identity.
