Netflix Casts Spot-On Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Third Season
Baroque Works is set to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the major clash won’t unfold until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The platform declared this week that the talented performer has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay can use their power to morph into an exact copy of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. Escola, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a rendition of that figure reimagined as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action series, differing from the source material and anime.
Escola will work alongside several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to reality, such as leader the main antagonist, played by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the lineup as the monarch of the fictional land.
Even though the role is a key figure of the group, the character won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Given the next season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this signals a major departure in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal further changes to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the role. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
