Netflix Casts Ideal Star for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, even if the major clash isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bentham. Bon Clay possesses the power to change into an exact copy of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a version of that figure reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag artist, in the live-action series, unlike the initial comic and animated series.
This performer joins several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to reality, such as head the main antagonist, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who is also part of the cast as the ruler of Alabasta.
Though this character is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Considering the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this signals a significant shift in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest more adjustments to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the role. Along with their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
