The Streaming Giant Casts Spot-On Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
Baroque Works is geared up to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a cherished, popular member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the skilled actor will appear in 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 individual they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that role reimagined as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag artist, in the live-action series, unlike the original manga and anime.
Escola will work alongside multiple recently announced actors who will portray Baroque Works to reality, including chief Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Even though Bon Clay is a important part of the organization, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the second season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a notable change in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could indicate more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the character. Along with their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors 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 roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
