Netflix Selects Spot-On Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
Baroque Works is set to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the major clash isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a cherished, popular member has recently been selected.
The platform declared recently that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Mr. 2. Bon Clay possesses the power to morph into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve touched with their dominant hand. The performer, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that role re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action series, unlike the source material and animated series.
This performer joins several other recently announced actors tasked with bringing Baroque Works to life, such as leader Sir Crocodile, played by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Although the role is a major member of the organization, the persona won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this represents a significant shift in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal additional alterations to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the character. Along with their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
