Netflix Casts Ideal Performer for Bentham in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is set to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash won’t take place until the next season, and a cherished, popular member has now been chosen.
Netflix announced this week that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Mr. 2. The role has the ability to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the source material and anime.
The new cast member is joined by multiple new cast members tasked with bringing Baroque Works to reality, including leader Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the ensemble as the monarch of Alabasta.
Although the role is a major member of the group, the persona will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With the second season set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this marks a major departure in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest more adjustments to the plot development.
The actor’s combination of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the character. Besides their latest vocal work 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!, highlighting the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
