The One Piece anime and live-action is pretty busy at the moment, as the creator, Eiichiro Oda (One Piece Film: Red, One Piece: Stampede), is getting his manga on track for the nearing final chapter, and the anime is closely following behind. As for the Netflix live-action, the show continues filming for its second season. On Thursday afternoon, report for a new casting resurfaced on the internet, suggesting that they found the actor that will portray the character of Mr. 11, a Baroque Works member, in season two, Comicbook.com reports.
According to Comicbook.com, the rumor was first seen on the One Piece Live Action community on Discord, which has uncovered previous castings for the show in the past month. The X (formerly Twitter) post embedded below shows that Alan Foulis (Warrior, Invasion) publicly updated his CV, which shows that he will portray Mr. 11.
Netflix has not confirmed anything regarding these castings. According to Comicbook.com, the second season of One Piece has other castings to announce, such as the fan-favorite characters of Nico Robin, known as Miss Sunday, and Tony Tony Chopper, even if fans are not even sure that he will appear in this season’s Arabasta saga.
According to Comicbook.com, Mr.11 is a member of the Baroque Works crew and has Miss Thursday as his partner in crime. Fans first see the character of Mr.11 during the Little Garden arc, but he has a small role in the Arabasta saga. He is introduced when Captain Smoker catches him and manipulates him into telling more about his work.
