The Streaming Giant Chooses Spot-On Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Season 3
The Secret Organization is geared up to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t take place until the third season, and a adored, popular member has just been cast.
The platform declared recently that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bentham. The role possesses the power to change into an exact copy of any individual they’ve made contact with with their right hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will portray a rendition of that role reimagined as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the live-action series, unlike the initial comic and cartoon version.
Escola will work alongside several other fresh additions set to bring the group to reality, including leader the main antagonist, brought to life by the well-known actor, an emerging star as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of Alabasta.
Although the role is a important part of the organization, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Considering the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this marks a significant shift in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate additional alterations to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the character. Along with their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
