Netflix Casts Spot-On Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t take place until the next season, and a adored, popular member has just been cast.
The platform declared Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bentham. This character possesses the power to transform into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a version of that role re-envisioned as non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action show, as in the original manga and cartoon version.
This performer joins several other fresh additions set to bring the organization to reality, including leader Sir Crocodile, played by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Even though the role is a major member of the group, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this marks a significant shift in the timing of their first appearance, one that could signal more adjustments to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the part. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is due to premiere for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
