Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t take place until the next season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.

The platform declared Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay possesses the power to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their main hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will play a rendition of that role re-envisioned as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action series, differing from the original manga and anime.

This performer joins several other fresh additions set to bring the organization to the screen, such as leader Mr. 0, played by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the cast as the ruler of the fictional land.

Even though Bon Clay is a major member of the organization, the persona won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Considering the next season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this represents a notable change in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could signal further changes to the narrative framework.

The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the part. Besides their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.

The platform’s adapted One Piece program is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
