One Piece Live-Action’s Mr. 3 Spills The Beans on Season Two

As a hardcore anime fan and gamer, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement when I heard that David Dastmalchian was cast as Mr. Three in the upcoming live-action adaptation of One Piece. Growing up, I devoured manga and watched countless hours of anime, with One Piece being one of my all-time favorites. So, to see a fellow nerd like Dastmalchian take on this iconic role is nothing short of a dream come true.


David Dastmalchian, an actor known for roles in films like ‘The Dark Knight’ and ‘The Suicide Squad’, maintains a passionate nerd at heart despite his success. His affection for comic books, ‘Dungeons & Dragons’, and anime is evident, and he’s never shied away from expressing it. This love of anime led to his recent casting as Mr. Three in the live-action Netflix adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s ‘One Piece’. In a recent interview, Dastmalchian talked about his role as a member of Baroqueworks, sharing insights into his acting process and speculating about how his character will translate to the “real world”.

In his conversation with The Nerdist, Dastmalchian shares insights about his upcoming character, Mr. Three, in the second season. He expresses excitement about joining an already impressive cast, praising the first season as exceptional. His goal for Mr. Three is to uncover the human side of Galino (David), who was previously just an office worker at Baroque Works but has transformed into a mysterious, somewhat villainous character with shifting alliances akin to those in “One Piece”. He’s eager to see how the creators will continue their outstanding work adapting the anime and manga into live-action.

David Dastmalachian is Lighting a Candle For Mr. Three

David Dastmalchian has been known for his nerdy roles, but he’s made quite an impression in the horror genre too. With roles in films like “Late Night With The Devil,” “The Last Voyage of The Demeter,” “The Boogeyman,” and more, he’s eager to blend his horror roots with his upcoming role as a Baroqueworks member in “One Piece.” He also wants to incorporate some of his theater background into the character of Mr. 3, making him look, move, and speak in a unique way. He didn’t shy away from the candle pun when he said, “I’m one hundred percent committed to bringing something special to this role. The energy and performance that ‘One Piece’ taps into aligns beautifully with the source material. I hope my efforts will make it hard for anyone to outshine what I’m about to do.

In summary, when asked about how they plan to adapt Mr. Three’s iconic hairstyle in the live-action series, the creators expressed confidence that it would stay true to the original design. They also shared their excitement about choosing eyewear and making their arms look suitable for the character’s short-sleeved shirts.

When Does One Piece Season Two Arrive?

As an ardent fan, I’ve been eagerly anticipating updates about the live-action adaptation of my favorite manga, One Piece. During Netflix’s Geeked Week, the showrunner, Matt Owens, skillfully side-stepped questions regarding when we can look forward to its return. With production for season 2 now underway, it’s uncertain if we’ll catch another glimpse of the series in 2025. I can hardly wait for the day Netflix finally brings us season two!
