Netflix Casts Spot-On Actor for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until season 3, and a cherished, popular member has recently been selected.
The platform declared Tuesday that the talented performer has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bentham. Bon Clay possesses the power to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. Escola, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that figure reimagined as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action show, differing from the initial comic and animated series.
The new cast member is joined by multiple recently announced actors who will portray the group to life, such as head the main antagonist, played by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the cast as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Even though this character is a important part of the organization, the character will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With the next season set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this represents a significant shift in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal further changes to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its season two on March 10, 2026.
