Netflix Selects Ideal Star for Bentham in One Piece Season 3
The Secret Organization is poised to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t take place until season 3, and a cherished, popular member has just been cast.
Netflix announced recently that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bentham. Bon Clay possesses the power to morph into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve touched with their dominant hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will portray a version of that role reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action show, as in the source material and cartoon version.
The new cast member will work alongside multiple fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to the screen, featuring chief Mr. 0, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the lineup as the ruler of the fictional land.
Even though the role is a important part of the organization, the character won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden arc, this represents a notable change in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could signal more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the role. Along with their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is set to return for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
