The Streaming Giant Casts Spot-On Actor for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Third Season

Baroque Works is set to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, popular member has now been chosen.

Netflix announced Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bon Clay. The role has the ability to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve touched with their main hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a version of that character re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag artist, in the live-action series, differing from the initial comic and anime.

This performer is joined by a number of fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to reality, including head Mr. 0, portrayed by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of Alabasta.

Though this character is a major member of Baroque Works, the character will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this marks a notable change in the placement of their first appearance, one that could suggest further changes to the plot development.

Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the character. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.

Netflix's live-action One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its season two on March 10, 2026.
