The Streaming Giant Selects Spot-On Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a cherished, popular member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed recently that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay has the ability to change into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The performer, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure reinterpreted as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action show, unlike the original manga and anime.
This performer will work alongside a number of new cast members tasked with bringing the group to the screen, featuring chief Mr. 0, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Even though this character is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this signals a major departure in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could suggest more adjustments to the plot development.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the part. In addition to their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its second season on March 10, 2026.
