Netflix Chooses Spot-On Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
Baroque Works is poised to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a beloved, popular member has now been chosen.
The platform declared recently that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay possesses the power to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their dominant hand. The actor, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will portray a version of that character reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the original manga and cartoon version.
Escola joins multiple fresh additions who will portray the organization to life, featuring chief the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Even though the role is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Considering the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this signals a major departure in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate further changes to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the part. Besides their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
