Netflix Casts Ideal Star for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t take place until season 3, and a adored, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.
Netflix announced this week that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. The role has the ability to transform into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure reimagined as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, as in the source material and animated series.
Escola joins several other fresh additions who will portray the group to reality, such as leader Sir Crocodile, played by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Even though Bon Clay is a key figure of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this marks a significant shift in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest further changes to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the part. Along with their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
