The Streaming Giant Chooses Perfect Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is set to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t take place until the third season, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
The platform declared recently that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Mr. 2. This character can use their power to change into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The actor, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a interpretation of that role re-envisioned as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action show, unlike the initial comic and cartoon version.
Escola joins several other new cast members tasked with bringing the group to the screen, featuring leader Sir Crocodile, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Though this character is a important part of the group, the character will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this marks a significant shift in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.
Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the part. Along with their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is set to return for its season two on March 10, 2026.
