Netflix Casts Spot-On Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Season 3
Baroque Works is set to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The platform declared recently that Cole Escola has joined the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Mr. 2. Bon Clay can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that role reinterpreted as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the initial comic and animated series.
Escola will work alongside a number of new cast members tasked with bringing the organization to life, including head the main antagonist, played by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who also joins the lineup as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Although Bon Clay is a key figure of the organization, the persona won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Considering the second season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this represents a notable change in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate additional alterations to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the part. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is set to return for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
