The Streaming Giant Selects Spot-On Star for Mr. 2 in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is geared up to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the real showdown isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
Netflix announced Tuesday that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bentham. The role can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a rendition of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag artist, in the live-action series, unlike the initial comic and animated series.
This performer will work alongside a number of new cast members who will portray the organization to reality, including head Mr. 0, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as another operative, and a familiar face, who also joins the lineup as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though the role is a important part of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this represents a major departure in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could indicate further changes to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth 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 received high praise and numerous honors for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
