Netflix Casts Ideal Star for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Third Season
Baroque Works is set to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash won’t take place until the next season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The platform declared this week that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay has the ability to transform into an exact copy of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their dominant hand. Escola, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that character reimagined as non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the initial comic and animated series.
This performer joins several other recently announced actors set to bring the organization to life, featuring leader the main antagonist, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who also joins the cast as the monarch of Alabasta.
Although this character is a key figure of the organization, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this signals a major departure in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could indicate more adjustments to the plot development.
Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the character. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10, 2026.
