Netflix Selects Spot-On Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed recently that Cole Escola has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay can use their power to morph into an exact copy of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The performer, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a rendition of that role reinterpreted as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action show, unlike the initial comic and animated series.
The new cast member joins a number of new cast members tasked with bringing the group to reality, such as leader the main antagonist, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and a familiar face, who will appear as the cast as the ruler of the fictional land.
Though the role is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Considering the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a notable change in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate further changes to the story’s structure.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the role. Along with their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is set to return for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
