The Streaming Giant Chooses Perfect Performer for Bentham in One Piece Third Season
Baroque Works is poised to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a cherished, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
Netflix announced recently that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Mr. 2. The role can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve made contact with with their main hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that role re-envisioned as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the initial comic and animated series.
Escola joins a number of fresh additions who will portray the group to life, including leader the main antagonist, played by the well-known actor, an emerging star as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Although Bon Clay is a key figure of the group, the individual won’t appear until One Piece season 3. With season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a notable change in the timing of their first appearance, one that could suggest additional alterations to the narrative framework.
Their mix of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the part. Along with their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is set to return for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
