The Streaming Giant Selects Spot-On Star for Bentham in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is poised to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The platform declared Tuesday that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bentham. This character possesses the power to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that role re-envisioned as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action show, differing from the original manga and cartoon version.
This performer will work alongside multiple fresh additions set to bring the organization to reality, such as head the main antagonist, brought to life by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the ensemble as the monarch of Alabasta.
Even though this character is a important part of Baroque Works, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Given the second season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this represents a notable change in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could suggest more adjustments to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the part. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for writing and starring in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece show is set to return for its second season on March 10, 2026.
