Let the demon hunting begin! Netflix is bringing the iconic video game series Devil May Cry to life with an anime adaptation, and fans have been treated to a thrilling new trailer. But the excitement doesn't stop there—the legendary late voice actor Kevin Conroy will posthumously star in this new game adaptation, adding a special touch to the series.
Conroy, celebrated for his iconic portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman in numerous animated films and TV shows, takes on the role of VP Baines, a new character introduced in the series. His voice can be heard in the opening of the trailer, marking another posthumous performance following his acclaimed work in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3 in July 2024. Conroy's untimely passing in November 2022 at the age of 66 left a void in the voice acting community, making his contribution to Devil May Cry all the more poignant.
Joining Conroy in the cast are Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary, Hoon Lee as White Rabbit, Chris Coppola as Enzo, and Johnny Yong Bosch as the protagonist, Dante.
According to the official synopsis from Netflix, "Sinister forces are at play to open the portal between the human and demon realms. In the middle of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck."
Adi Shankar, known for his work on films like the 2012 Judge Dredd reboot, Killing Them Softly, and The Voices, will serve as the showrunner for the series. Shankar is also attached to an Assassin’s Creed adaptation, though its release remains uncertain since its announcement in 2017.
The animation will be handled by Studio Mir, the acclaimed South Korean studio behind hits like The Legend of Korra and X-Men ‘97. Devil May Cry is set to premiere on Netflix on April 3, 2025, promising fans a thrilling blend of action and storytelling.
