Netflix Selects Perfect Actor for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until the third season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed recently that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bentham. Bon Clay possesses the power to morph into an exact copy of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that character re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action series, as in the initial comic and anime.
This performer is joined by several other recently announced actors set to bring Baroque Works to the screen, including head Sir Crocodile, played by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Although this character is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Considering the next season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this marks a major departure in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could suggest further changes to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the role. Along with their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
