Netflix Chooses Ideal Actor for Bentham in One Piece Upcoming Installment

Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a adored, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.

The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay possesses the power to transform into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their dominant hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will depict a rendition of that role reinterpreted as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the initial comic and animated series.

The new cast member joins multiple new cast members who will portray the organization to life, such as leader the main antagonist, played by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who will appear as the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.

Even though the role is a key figure of the organization, the character will be introduced in One Piece the third season. Given season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate additional alterations to the story’s structure.

The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the character. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.

The platform’s adapted One Piece show is due to premiere for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
