The Streaming Giant Chooses Perfect Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a adored, popular member has now been chosen.
The platform declared this week that the talented performer has joined the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bon Clay. This character possesses the power to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a rendition of that role reimagined as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag queen, in the live-action show, as in the source material and anime.
The new cast member is joined by several other fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to life, including chief Mr. 0, brought to life by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Even though this character is a important part of Baroque Works, the character won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the next season set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this represents a major departure in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could indicate more adjustments to the plot development.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the role. Along with their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
