The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Star for Bentham in One Piece Season 3

Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t take place until the third season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has just been cast.

The platform declared recently that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Mr. 2. The role can use their power to transform into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that character reimagined as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action show, unlike the initial comic and cartoon version.

The new cast member joins multiple fresh additions who will portray the organization to life, featuring head the main antagonist, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of the fictional land.

Even though the role is a major member of the group, the persona won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Given season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this marks a major departure in the placement of their first appearance, one that could suggest additional alterations to the plot development.

The actor’s combination of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a standout choice 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 multiple awards for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.

Netflix's live-action One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
