One Piece fans are in for a treat as Joe Manganiello and Lera Abova join the cast for Season 2 of Netflix’s live-action adaptation.
During Netflix’s Geeked Week 2024, the new cast members were revealed, and a behind-the-scenes teaser offered a glimpse of the upcoming season.
Manganiello and Abova were featured alongside other cast members, including executive producer Matt Owens and actor Jeff Ward, during a live event in Atlanta, Georgia.
Manganiello will portray Mr. O, while Abova takes on the role of Miss All-Sunday (Nico Robin). Fans are excited about the casting choices, especially with Abova’s earlier posts teasing her transformation into Robin, a character beloved by fans for her intelligence and calm demeanor.
