Netflix Selects Spot-On Actor for Bentham in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the talented performer has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay has the ability to morph into an exact copy of anyone they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that figure reinterpreted as non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action series, differing from the original manga and anime.
This performer is joined by multiple new cast members set to bring the organization to life, featuring leader Sir Crocodile, played by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the lineup as the monarch of the fictional land.
Although Bon Clay is a major member of the organization, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Given the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this marks a notable change in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could signal further changes to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the part. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated feature 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 characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is set to return for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
