Netflix Selects Perfect Actor for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
Baroque Works is geared up to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the true confrontation won’t take place until the third season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to transform into an identical duplicate 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 play a interpretation of that character reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the initial comic and animated series.
Escola will work alongside a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing the organization to reality, including leader Sir Crocodile, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the ensemble as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Though the role is a major member of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the second season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could suggest further changes to the plot development.
Their mix of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the character. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
