As a set video from The Bear season 3 suggests, Will Poulter is reprising his role as Chef Luca in The Bear season 3. This is incredible news because, even though Chef Luca appeared briefly in The Bear season 2's episode 4 as Marcus' mentor in Copenhagen, Will Poulter gave a memorable performance by perfectly portraying the character. There was also something meditative about Marcus' interactions with Will Poulter's character because Chef Luca not only helped him hone his skills but also reminded him of the importance of having a life outside the kitchen.
