The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Star for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Third Season
Baroque Works is geared up to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the major clash isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed recently that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay can use their power to transform into an exact copy of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The actor, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that role re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action series, differing from the initial comic and anime.
The new cast member is joined by several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the group to life, featuring chief Sir Crocodile, played by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Although Bon Clay is a key figure of the organization, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the timing of their first appearance, one that could suggest more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the character. Besides their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
