Netflix Selects Perfect Performer for Bon Clay in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is set to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the true confrontation won’t take place until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
Netflix announced Tuesday that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Mr. 2. The role has the ability to transform into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that figure reimagined as non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the source material and anime.
Escola joins several other recently announced actors who will portray Baroque Works to reality, such as head the main antagonist, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the ensemble as the monarch of the fictional land.
Though this character is a key figure of the group, the character will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Considering the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this signals a major departure in the placement of their first appearance, one that could suggest further changes to the narrative framework.
Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity 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 numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece program is set to return for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
