The Streaming Giant Casts Spot-On Actor for Mr. 2 in One Piece Third Season

Baroque Works is poised to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the major clash won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.

The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bon Clay. This character 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 uses they/them pronouns, will depict a version of that role re-envisioned as non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action show, differing from the initial comic and animated series.

The new cast member is joined by multiple new cast members tasked with bringing the group to reality, such as chief the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as another operative, and a familiar face, who is also part of the cast as the monarch of the desert kingdom.

Even though Bon Clay is a key figure of the group, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Given the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this signals a significant shift in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.

Their mix of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the role. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
