Netflix Selects Spot-On Actor for Mr. 2 in One Piece Season 3
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the major clash won’t take place until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The platform declared this week that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay possesses the power to change into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve touched with their right hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that role reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action series, as in the source material and anime.
Escola will work alongside a number of fresh additions who will portray the organization to the screen, featuring leader the main antagonist, portrayed by the well-known actor, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Although the role is a key figure of Baroque Works, the character will be introduced in One Piece the third season. Considering the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this signals a major departure in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal additional alterations to the plot development.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the role. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is due to premiere for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
