Netflix Casts Spot-On Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the major clash won’t take place until season 3, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bon Clay. This character can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The performer, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a rendition of that role reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action series, as in the original manga and cartoon version.
The new cast member will work alongside several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to reality, such as head Sir Crocodile, played by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though this character is a important part of Baroque Works, the character won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Given the second season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this signals a significant shift in the timing of their first appearance, one that could suggest further changes to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the character. Besides their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is set to return for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
