The Streaming Giant Chooses Perfect Actor for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Season 3
Baroque Works is set to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
The platform declared recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay possesses the power to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their dominant hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a rendition of that role reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the live-action series, unlike the initial comic and anime.
Escola will work alongside several other recently announced actors tasked with bringing Baroque Works to life, featuring head Mr. 0, brought to life by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who is also part of the cast as the ruler of Alabasta.
Though this character is a important part of the organization, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. With the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this represents a notable change in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate additional alterations to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the part. Along with their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
