The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Actor for Bon Clay in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised 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 beloved, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
Netflix announced this week that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Mr. 2. Bon Clay possesses the power to change into an exact copy of anyone they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that role reimagined as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the initial comic and animated series.
This performer will work alongside multiple recently announced actors who will portray the group to life, such as leader Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of the fictional land.
Even though this character is a important part of the organization, the character won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Given the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this represents a major departure in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the part. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece program is set to return for its second season on March 10, 2026.
