Netflix Casts Perfect Star for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is set to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t take place until the third season, and a cherished, popular member has now been chosen.
Netflix announced this week that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay possesses the power to morph into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve touched with their right hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that figure reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action show, differing from the source material and cartoon version.
The new cast member will work alongside several other fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to the screen, including leader the main antagonist, played by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Even though the role is a important part of the organization, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. With the next season likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this represents a notable change in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Their mix of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the part. Besides their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece show is due to premiere for its season two on March 10, 2026.
