The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Star for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t take place until season 3, and a adored, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The platform declared Tuesday that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bon Clay. The role can use their power to change into an exact copy of anyone they’ve touched with their dominant hand. Escola, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a version of that character reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the live-action series, unlike the initial comic and anime.
The new cast member will work alongside a number of fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to reality, such as chief Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and a familiar face, who will appear as the ensemble as the ruler of the fictional land.
Although Bon Clay is a important part of the group, the individual won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Given season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this signals a significant shift in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest additional alterations to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the role. Besides their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece show is set to return for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
