Netflix Chooses Spot-On Star for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t take place until the next season, and a adored, popular member has just been cast.
Netflix announced Tuesday that the talented performer 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 anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their dominant hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a interpretation of that character reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag artist, in the live-action series, as in the source material and animated series.
Escola will work alongside several other new cast members set to bring the organization to reality, including leader the main antagonist, played by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who will appear as the cast as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Although Bon Clay is a key figure of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Considering season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this marks a significant shift in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the story’s structure.
Their mix of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the character. Besides their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
