The Streaming Giant Casts Spot-On Performer for Mr. 2 in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is set to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t take place until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
Netflix announced this week that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bentham. Bon Clay can use their power to transform into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will portray a rendition of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the original manga and animated series.
The new cast member is joined by several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the group to life, featuring leader Sir Crocodile, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Though the role is a key figure of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With the second season likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this represents a major departure in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could suggest additional alterations to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the part. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
