Netflix Casts Perfect Star for Bentham in One Piece Season 3
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t unfold until the third season, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The platform declared Tuesday that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Mr. 2. The role has the ability to change into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that figure re-envisioned as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the original manga and animated series.
This performer will work alongside a number of new cast members tasked with bringing the group to life, featuring chief the main antagonist, played by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Even though Bon Clay is a key figure of Baroque Works, the persona won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this marks a major departure in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal more adjustments to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the character. Along with their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is due to premiere for its second season on March 10, 2026.
