The Streaming Giant Chooses Perfect Performer for Mr. 2 in One Piece Third Season
The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t take place until the next season, and a adored, popular member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bentham. This character can use their power to transform into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve touched with their dominant hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that character reinterpreted as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the initial comic and animated series.
The new cast member joins multiple fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to life, such as head the main antagonist, brought to life by the well-known actor, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who is also part of the lineup as the monarch of Alabasta.
Although Bon Clay is a major member of Baroque Works, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a significant shift in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could indicate additional alterations to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the character. Besides their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
Netflix's live-action One Piece program is set to return for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
