The Streaming Giant Selects Spot-On Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is set to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the major clash isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The platform declared Tuesday that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Bentham. The role can use their power to morph into an exact copy of any person they’ve touched with their right hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a rendition of that character reinterpreted as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the source material and anime.
This performer joins a number of fresh additions who will portray the group to the screen, including leader the main antagonist, brought to life by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the ensemble as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though this character is a important part of Baroque Works, the persona will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Given season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this marks a major departure in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could suggest further changes to the narrative framework.
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 earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.
The platform’s adapted One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
