The Streaming Giant Chooses Spot-On Actor for Mr. 2 in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t unfold until the next season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
Netflix announced recently that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bon Clay. The role can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve touched with their right hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that character reimagined as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action series, as in the source material and animated series.
This performer joins several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to reality, featuring head the main antagonist, portrayed by the well-known actor, an emerging star as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the cast as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Even though this character is a key figure of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Given season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this signals a significant shift in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the part. In addition to their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
