Netflix Selects Ideal Actor for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
The platform declared Tuesday that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bon Clay. This character has the ability to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their dominant hand. Escola, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a version of that figure re-envisioned as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action series, unlike the initial comic and cartoon version.
The new cast member joins a number of recently announced actors set to bring Baroque Works to life, such as leader the main antagonist, played by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and a familiar face, who is also part of the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Even though this character is a important part of the organization, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this signals a notable change in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could indicate additional alterations to the plot development.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the part. Along with 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 versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
