The Streaming Giant Chooses Spot-On Performer for Bentham in One Piece Upcoming Installment
Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the real showdown isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a cherished, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
The platform declared recently that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bon Clay. The role can use their power to morph into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve made contact with with their right hand. The performer, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will portray a interpretation of that role reimagined as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the initial comic and animated series.
Escola will work alongside a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing the organization to reality, such as head Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Even though Bon Clay is a important part of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this signals a significant shift in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate additional alterations to the story’s structure.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the role. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece show is due to premiere for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
