Netflix Casts Perfect Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is geared up to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t take place until the third season, and a cherished, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.
The platform declared this week that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Mr. 2. The role has the ability to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will play a interpretation of that role reinterpreted as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action series, unlike the source material and anime.
The new cast member is joined by a number of recently announced actors who will portray Baroque Works to life, featuring head the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Although Bon Clay is a major member of the organization, the character won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Given season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this signals a major departure in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could signal further changes to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the character. In addition to their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
