Netflix Selects Spot-On Performer for Bon Clay in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the major clash isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
The platform declared Tuesday that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Mr. 2. This character possesses the power to change into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a rendition of that character reimagined as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the initial comic and anime.
Escola joins a number of fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to life, such as head Mr. 0, played by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the ensemble as the ruler of Alabasta.
Although this character is a important part of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the next season set to cover the Little Garden arc, this marks a major departure in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could suggest more adjustments to the plot development.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the character. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
