The Streaming Giant Chooses Spot-On Star for Mr. 2 in One Piece Season 3
The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t unfold until the next season, and a beloved, popular member has just been cast.
Netflix announced this week that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bentham. The role possesses the power to change into an exact copy of any person they’ve touched with their dominant hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a interpretation of that role re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action show, differing from the initial comic and anime.
Escola will work alongside multiple fresh additions who will portray Baroque Works to reality, such as leader the main antagonist, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Though Bon Clay is a key figure of the organization, the individual won’t appear until One Piece season 3. With the next season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this marks a significant shift in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate more adjustments to the plot development.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the role. Besides their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility 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 March 10, 2026.
