The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Actor for Mr. 2 in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bentham. The role possesses the power to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their right hand. The performer, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that character reimagined as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the original manga and animated series.
This performer is joined by several other new cast members tasked with bringing Baroque Works to reality, featuring leader the main antagonist, portrayed by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Even though this character is a important part of the organization, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this signals a significant shift in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could suggest more adjustments to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the part. Along with their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
