Netflix Chooses Spot-On Star for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Season 3
Baroque Works is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, popular member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed recently that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Mr. 2. Bon Clay possesses the power to transform into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a rendition of that character re-envisioned as non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, as in the initial comic and animated series.
This performer will work alongside several other recently announced actors who will portray Baroque Works to reality, such as head the main antagonist, portrayed by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who will appear as the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Although the role is a key figure of the group, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Given the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a significant shift in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the role. Along with their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is due to premiere for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
