The Streaming Giant Selects Spot-On Actor for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is geared up to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until season 3, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The platform declared recently that Cole Escola has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Mr. 2. Bon Clay has the ability to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. Escola, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure reinterpreted as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action show, unlike the original manga and animated series.
Escola is joined by a number of new cast members who will portray the group to reality, featuring chief Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and a familiar face, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Even though the role is a major member of Baroque Works, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Given the next season set to cover the Little Garden arc, this represents a notable change in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could indicate more adjustments to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the role. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is due to premiere for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
