The Streaming Giant Chooses Perfect Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is set to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the major clash won’t take place until season 3, and a adored, popular member has now been chosen.
Netflix announced Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Mr. 2. The role has the ability to transform into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their right hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a rendition of that role re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action show, differing from the initial comic and animated series.
Escola joins multiple fresh additions set to bring the group to life, featuring leader Mr. 0, brought to life by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though the role is a key figure of the group, the character will be introduced in One Piece the third season. With the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this signals a major departure in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the part. Besides their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
