As a lifelong fan of both One Piece and Joe Manganiello’s acting prowess, I can’t help but feel like this is the perfect storm of awesomeness! Mr 0 is one of the most intriguing antagonists in the series, and to have an actor with Manganiello’s talent bringing him to life on screen is nothing short of exhilarating.


One Piece has announced that Magic Mike star Joe Manganiello is joining the cast for season two.

In the upcoming second season of the live-action adaption, the role of the significant villain Mr. 0 from the original manga has been assigned to the actor.

During Netflix’s Geeked Week Live event on Thursday, September 19th, it was announced that Joseph Manganiello would be taking on the role of a villain. His enthusiasm for this new character was evident as he stepped onto the stage and shared his excitement.
