As a long-time fan of the original One Piece manga and anime, I must say that my excitement levels are through the roof with the announcement of Joe Manganiello joining the cast as Mr. 0 (Crocodile) for Netflix’s live-action series! Having grown up watching Luffy and his crew sailing the Grand Line, it feels surreal to see such iconic characters come to life on screen.

The live-action adaptation of “One Piece” by Netflix is now moving forward with Season 2, and Joe Manganiello, who will play Mr. 0, has given fans a special message after being cast. Production on Season 2 began earlier this summer, and the show has been adding numerous new actors to its roster as it prepares to tackle upcoming arcs from Eiichiro Oda’s manga and anime series. Some of the major villains who will soon cross paths with Luffy and the Straw Hats are also set to appear in this season.

During Geeked Week this year, Netflix revealed a multitude of updates, and it was announced that One Piece Season 2 will be even more packed with the addition of Joe Manganiello to the cast, taking on the role of Mr. 0, also known as Crocodile in the original manga version. To excite fans, Manganiello shared a special message hinting at his upcoming full-scale involvement in the series, which you can see below via One Piece’s official Twitter account.

What Role Will Joe Manganiello Play in Netflix’s One Piece?

In Season 2 of Netflix’s “One Piece,” actor Manganiello will take on the enigmatic character of Mr. 0, also known as his alias within the Baroque Works group. This figure is significant in the series’ upcoming events. Interestingly, Manganiello’s character could potentially have a larger presence in the show compared to earlier versions of the story.

In the upcoming storyline of “One Piece,” this major adversary becomes increasingly influential, hinting at further Netflix plans for the series. Given the massive success of Season 1, it’s almost certain that a second season is on the horizon. Characters like Mr. 0 appearing suggest that there may be preparations for a potential third season to unfold, as they foreshadow the significant role played by the character portrayed by Manganiello.
