The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Performer for Bentham in One Piece Third Season
The Secret Organization is set to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t take place until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed recently that the talented performer has joined the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Mr. 2. This character has the ability to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The performer, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a rendition of that figure reinterpreted as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, as in the initial comic and cartoon version.
The new cast member is joined by multiple recently announced actors tasked with bringing the group to reality, such as leader the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of the fictional land.
Though Bon Clay is a key figure of the group, the character won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Given the next season likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this marks a notable change in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the character. In addition to their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
