The Streaming Giant Casts Perfect Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Season 3
Baroque Works is set to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, even if the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed this week that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Mr. 2. Bon Clay has the ability to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve touched with their dominant hand. The performer, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a version of that character reimagined as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action show, unlike the initial comic and cartoon version.
Escola joins several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the group to the screen, including leader Mr. 0, played by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the cast as the monarch of the desert kingdom.
Although this character is a major member of Baroque Works, the character will be introduced in One Piece the third season. With the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this marks a notable change in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate more adjustments to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the character. In addition to their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
Netflix's live-action One Piece show is set to return for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
