Netflix Selects Perfect Actor for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is poised to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the major clash isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a cherished, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. Bon Clay possesses the power to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their right hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that role re-envisioned as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action show, unlike the source material and anime.
The new cast member joins multiple fresh additions set to bring the organization to reality, featuring leader Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the well-known actor, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who also joins the ensemble as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Although the role is a major member of Baroque Works, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Given season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this signals a significant shift in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could suggest more adjustments to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the part. Besides their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
