The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
Baroque Works is geared up to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the major clash won’t take place until the next season, and a adored, popular member has now been chosen.
The platform declared Tuesday that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bentham. Bon Clay has the ability to morph into an exact copy of any individual they’ve touched with their right hand. The performer, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a rendition of that character re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the initial comic and anime.
This performer is joined by several other recently announced actors who will portray the organization to the screen, including head Mr. 0, played by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Even though this character is a key figure of the organization, the character won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Given season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this marks a significant shift in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate more adjustments to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the part. Besides their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is due to premiere for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
