Netflix Chooses Spot-On Star for Bentham in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t unfold until season 3, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
Netflix announced this week that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Mr. 2. Bon Clay has the ability to transform into an exact copy of anyone they’ve made contact with with their right hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a version of that character reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, as in the original manga and animated series.
The new cast member is joined by several other new cast members who will portray the organization to life, including head the main antagonist, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Even though this character is a major member of the group, the persona won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Given season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this marks a notable change in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could indicate more adjustments to the plot development.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the role. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
