Netflix Selects Spot-On Star for Bentham in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t take place until the next season, and a cherished, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
Netflix announced recently that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Mr. 2. This character possesses the power to morph into an exact copy of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their dominant hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure reimagined as non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the live-action show, as in the original manga and cartoon version.
Escola joins a number of fresh additions tasked with bringing Baroque Works to the screen, such as leader the main antagonist, portrayed by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the cast as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Although Bon Clay is a major member of the organization, the persona won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Considering the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate more adjustments to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the role. Besides their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its second season on March 10, 2026.
