The Streaming Giant Selects Ideal Actor for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Third Season
Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t take place until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
The platform declared recently that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Mr. 2. This character has the ability to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve touched with their right hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that character re-envisioned as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action show, as in the initial comic and anime.
The new cast member is joined by a number of new cast members who will portray the organization to reality, such as head the main antagonist, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who will appear as the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Although the role is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this marks a major departure in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the character. Besides their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
