Let the demon hunting begin. Netflix is bringing the iconic video game series Devil May Cry to life with a thrilling new anime adaptation, and fans have been treated to a tantalizing trailer that just dropped on the streaming platform. Adding to the excitement is the news that the late, legendary voice actor Kevin Conroy will posthumously star in this eagerly awaited game adaptation.
Conroy, celebrated for his iconic portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman across numerous animated films and TV series, lends his voice to VP Baines, a fresh character introduced in the series. You can catch a glimpse of his performance right at the beginning of the trailer.
Conroy's posthumous work was previously acclaimed in July 2024 for his role in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3. It's heartening for fans to have another opportunity to enjoy his remarkable talent following his passing in November 2022 at the age of 66. Joining Conroy in the cast are Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary, Hoon Lee as White Rabbit, Chris Coppola as Enzo, and Johnny Yong Bosch voicing the protagonist, Dante.According to Netflix's official synopsis, "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."
The animation for Devil May Cry is being crafted by Studio Mir, a renowned South Korean studio with credits including The Legend of Korra and X-Men ‘97. Fans can mark their calendars for the series' premiere on Netflix on April 3, 2025.
