Netflix Selects Spot-On Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Season 3
Baroque Works is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a adored, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
The platform declared Tuesday that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bon Clay. Bon Clay possesses the power to change into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that figure reinterpreted as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, as in the source material and animated series.
The new cast member is joined by multiple fresh additions set to bring the organization to reality, including leader Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the well-known actor, an emerging star as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Although the role is a key figure of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the third season. With season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this signals a notable change in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could suggest more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Their mix of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the part. Besides their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10, 2026.
