The Streaming Giant Casts Spot-On Actor for Bon Clay in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
The platform declared recently that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bentham. The role has the ability to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve touched with their right hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a version of that character reinterpreted as non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the original manga and cartoon version.
This performer is joined by multiple fresh additions tasked with bringing Baroque Works to reality, such as head Mr. 0, played by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the lineup as the monarch of Alabasta.
Though the role is a major member of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the third season. Considering season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could indicate further changes to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the character. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
