The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Star for Bentham in the Hit Series Season 3

Baroque Works is geared up to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has just been cast.

The platform declared recently that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The performer, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action series, differing from the original manga and anime.

The new cast member is joined by several other recently announced actors tasked with bringing the organization to reality, including leader the main antagonist, portrayed by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.

Though the role is a major member of the organization, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this signals a major departure in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate more adjustments to the narrative framework.

Their mix of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the role. Along with their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
