The Streaming Giant Selects Perfect Star for Mr. 2 in One Piece Third Season
Baroque Works is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the major clash won’t take place until season 3, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The platform declared this week that the talented performer has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bentham. Bon Clay possesses the power to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve touched with their main hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will depict a version of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the live-action show, as in the source material and animated series.
This performer is joined by multiple new cast members who will portray the organization to reality, including chief the main antagonist, played by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Even though Bon Clay is a major member of the group, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Given season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest further changes to the narrative framework.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the part. Along with their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is set to return for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
