The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Performer for Mr. 2 in One Piece Third Season
The Secret Organization is geared up to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the major clash won’t unfold until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
Netflix announced this week that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bentham. Bon Clay has the ability to morph into an exact copy of any person they’ve touched with their dominant hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that character reimagined as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the original manga and animated series.
The new cast member joins several other new cast members set to bring Baroque Works to the screen, such as chief Sir Crocodile, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and a familiar face, who also joins the lineup as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though Bon Clay is a key figure of the organization, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this represents a major departure in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could signal additional alterations to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the role. Besides their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
