Netflix Selects Ideal Star for Bon Clay in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is poised to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t take place until season 3, and a cherished, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
The platform declared this week that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bon Clay. This character can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve touched with their main hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that figure reinterpreted as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action series, unlike the source material and cartoon version.
This performer joins a number of new cast members set to bring Baroque Works to life, such as chief the main antagonist, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the ensemble as the ruler of Alabasta.
Though this character is a important part of the organization, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. With the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could indicate additional alterations to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. In addition to their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
