Netflix Selects Perfect Performer for Mr. 2 in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is set to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t take place until the next season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
The platform declared this week that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bon Clay. This character can use their power to change into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve made contact with with their main hand. Escola, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a version of that figure reinterpreted as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the initial comic and animated series.
Escola joins several other new cast members who will portray the group to life, such as leader the main antagonist, portrayed by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Even though this character is a important part of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Given the next season set to cover the Little Garden arc, this represents a notable change in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could suggest further changes to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the character. In addition to their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
