The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Actor for Mr. 2 in One Piece Third Season
The Secret Organization is geared up to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t take place until the third season, and a adored, popular member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bentham. The role can use their power to morph into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve touched with their dominant hand. The actor, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a rendition of that figure reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action show, differing from the source material and animated series.
Escola is joined by multiple fresh additions set to bring the organization to the screen, including head Sir Crocodile, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Even though this character is a key figure of the organization, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the third season. With the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could suggest further changes to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the part. Along with their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
