The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Performer for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Third Season
Baroque Works is geared up to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, popular member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed this week that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Mr. 2. The role can use their power to transform into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The actor, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a version of that figure reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the initial comic and animated series.
Escola is joined by several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to the screen, such as leader the main antagonist, played by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as the monarch of the fictional land.
Although this character is a important part of the organization, the character will be introduced in One Piece the third season. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this represents a major departure in the timing of their first appearance, one that could signal further changes to the story’s structure.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the role. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
