The Streaming Giant Casts Spot-On Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t take place until season 3, and a beloved, popular member has just been cast.
Netflix announced Tuesday that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bentham. The role possesses the power to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that character reinterpreted as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the source material and animated series.
The new cast member will work alongside multiple new cast members set to bring the organization to reality, such as leader the main antagonist, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of Alabasta.
Even though this character is a major member of the organization, the persona will be introduced in One Piece the third season. Considering season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this represents a significant shift in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could suggest further changes to the narrative framework.
Their mix of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the part. Besides their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.
The platform’s adapted One Piece program is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
