The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Performer for Bentham in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a cherished, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed this week that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Mr. 2. This character has the ability to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure reimagined as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the original manga and anime.
Escola is joined by multiple recently announced actors tasked with bringing the group to life, such as leader Mr. 0, portrayed by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Though Bon Clay is a major member of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden arc, this marks a major departure in the timing of their first appearance, one that could suggest further changes to the narrative framework.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the character. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
