Netflix Casts Spot-On Actor for Bon Clay in One Piece Season 3
The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.
Netflix announced recently that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Mr. 2. Bon Clay can use their power to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that character re-envisioned as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, as in the source material and animated series.
Escola will work alongside multiple fresh additions who will portray Baroque Works to the screen, featuring chief Sir Crocodile, portrayed by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Even though Bon Clay is a important part of the group, the character won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. Given season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this represents a notable change in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the part. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is due to premiere for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
