The Netflix live-action adaptation of One Piece mentions Baroque Works without hesitation, giving a clear hint about a possible second season and Luffy’s next villains.

Mr. 3 needs a much bigger role with David Dastmalchian in season 2 of One Piece

DC star revives classic villain from One Piece

Known for portraying DC villains, David Dastmalchian was cast as One piece Villain Mr. 3whose role in the show should be enhanced to properly utilize this excellent cast. One piece Season 1 was a huge hit on Netflix, so it’s no surprise that actors like Dastmalchian are interested in joining. That bodes well for Mr. 3, a villain whose hair, in a comical twist, spells out his name and changes shape to communicate his thoughts. While it’s not the most popular storyline among fans, the Little Garden storyline is Mr. 3’s domain and will benefit from this good cast.

Mr. 3 is part of a group of villains called Baroque Works, based in the Grand Line, where Monkey D. Luffy and his crew are headed at the end of the first season. The collision course of Luffy and Mr. 3 is inevitable, but The Little Garden arc might be more welcome with David Dastmalchian at the helm. While it’s not the biggest story arc in the anime or manga, the fact that a big name is attached to it means it deserves a much bigger role in the live-action show.

Why David Dastmalchian is a dream cast for “One Piece: Mr. 3”

The supervillain actor is perfect for “Mr. 3”

David Dastmalchian has played many roles that prove his suitability for Mr. 3. The series’ strong characterization is key to its continued success as an adaptation, and this is where Dastmalchian’s skills will come in handy. As Thomas Schiff in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, for example, David Dastmalchian proved his ability to play a deranged villain with larger-than-life screen presence. Although he’s far from the film’s main villain, Schiff’s unbridled darkness made him a great complement to his boss, the Joker. That energy will be vital to Mr. 3, who vacillates between fear and anxiety.

Another great reference for the One piece Villain will be Dastmalchian’s work in The suicide squad as perhaps the most useless villain in the DC Universe. Dastmalchian’s hilarious role as the insecure Polka Dot Man prepares him well for the bumbling instability of Mr. 3. Now it looks like the One piece The Little Garden story arc will not be skipped despite its lukewarm reception, Dastmalchian’s solid experience will add some much-needed flair to the story arc and its main villain.

One piece Season 2 will be different from Season 1 in many ways, as the story’s foundations have already been laid. Now that most of the series’ exposition is complete, Season 2 can focus on the manga’s best villains and spend more time diving deep into focused storylines. David Dastmalchian will come in One piece at the perfect timeand his portrayal of Mr. 3 will be one of the many highlights of One piece Season 2.
