The Streaming Giant Selects Ideal Performer for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is poised to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t take place until season 3, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
Netflix announced this week that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Mr. 2. This character possesses the power to transform into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action show, unlike the initial comic and animated series.
Escola joins a number of recently announced actors set to bring the group to life, such as head the main antagonist, played by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as the ruler of the fictional land.
Although this character is a key figure of the organization, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. With the second season likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this signals a notable change in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the role. Along with their current animated role 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!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is due to premiere for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
