Netflix Casts Ideal Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
Baroque Works is set to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t take place until the next season, and a cherished, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed recently that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Bon Clay. Bon Clay has the ability to transform into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that character reimagined as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, as in the original manga and cartoon version.
Escola will work alongside a number of new cast members tasked with bringing the group to reality, including head the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as another operative, and a familiar face, who also joins the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Even though the role is a important part of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Considering season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this signals a major departure in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate further changes to the narrative framework.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the part. Besides their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
