Netflix announced Tuesday that Cole Escola has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Mr. 2. Bon Clay can use their power to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their right hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that figure reinterpreted as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the original manga and anime.
The new cast member joins a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing the organization to reality, featuring leader the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the ensemble as the ruler of Alabasta.
Though Bon Clay is a major member of Baroque Works, the character will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the next season set to cover the Little Garden arc, this marks a significant shift in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could indicate additional alterations to the plot development.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the part.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is due to premiere for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
