The Streaming Giant Selects Spot-On Performer for Bon Clay in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is geared up to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t take place until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has just been cast.
Netflix announced recently that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. This character has the ability to change into an exact copy of any individual they’ve touched with their right hand. Escola, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that role reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action series, as in the initial comic and animated series.
This performer will work alongside multiple recently announced actors who will portray the group to reality, such as head the main antagonist, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the ensemble as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Although Bon Clay is a major member of the organization, the character will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a notable change in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate additional alterations to the plot development.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the character. Along with their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
