The Streaming Giant Selects Ideal Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Third Season
Baroque Works is set to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the major clash isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The platform declared Tuesday that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bentham. This character possesses the power to morph into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their dominant hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that figure reimagined as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, as in the source material and animated series.
Escola is joined by a number of recently announced actors set to bring Baroque Works to life, including chief the main antagonist, played by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Even though the role is a important part of the organization, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering the second season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this marks a notable change in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could indicate more adjustments to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the character. In addition to their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
