Netflix Selects Perfect Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the major clash won’t take place until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
The platform declared Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bentham. Bon Clay possesses the power to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure reinterpreted as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, as in the original manga and cartoon version.
The new cast member will work alongside multiple recently announced actors tasked with bringing the group to life, featuring head the main antagonist, portrayed by the well-known actor, an emerging star as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Though the role is a important part of the group, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Given season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this signals a major departure in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest further changes to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the part. Besides their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
