The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Star for Bon Clay in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is geared up to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the major clash won’t take place until the next season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The platform declared recently that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bentham. This character has the ability to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their right hand. The actor, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that role reinterpreted as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, as in the original manga and animated series.
Escola is joined by multiple new cast members set to bring the organization to life, such as leader Mr. 0, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Though this character is a major member of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering season 2 set to cover the Little Garden arc, this marks a major departure in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the character. In addition to their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is set to return for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
