Netflix Chooses Spot-On Star for Mr. 2 in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is set to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t take place until season 3, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The platform declared recently that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bentham. The role can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that character re-envisioned as non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, as in the original manga and animated series.
The new cast member joins a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing the group to the screen, including chief Mr. 0, brought to life by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Although the role is a important part of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Given season 2 set to cover the Little Garden arc, this signals a notable change in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate additional alterations to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the role. Along with their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is set to return for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
