The Streaming Giant Chooses Perfect Actor for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Season 3
Baroque Works is geared up to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash won’t unfold until the third season, and a beloved, popular member has recently been selected.
Netflix announced Tuesday that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bon Clay. The role has the ability to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will depict a version of that character re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action show, differing from the source material and anime.
The new cast member is joined by multiple fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to life, including leader the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who also joins the cast as the monarch of Alabasta.
Even though Bon Clay is a important part of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Given season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this marks a significant shift in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could suggest additional alterations to the plot development.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the part. Along with their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece program is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
