Get ready for some demon-slaying action! Netflix is bringing the iconic Devil May Cry franchise to anime, and a brand-new trailer has just dropped, offering a thrilling first look. Even more exciting, the legendary Kevin Conroy lends his voice posthumously to this adaptation.
Conroy, beloved for his iconic portrayal of Batman across numerous animated films and series, voices the new character VP Baines, heard in the trailer's opening moments. His posthumous performance follows his acclaimed work in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3, released in July 2024, offering fans another opportunity to appreciate his talent following his passing in November 2022 at age 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 as Dante.
Netflix's official synopsis reveals: “Sinister forces are at play, opening a portal between the human and demon realms. At the center is Dante, an orphaned demon hunter-for-hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds rests on his shoulders.”
Adi Shankar, known for his work on Dredd (2012), Killing Them Softly (2012), and The Voices (2014), serves as showrunner. He's also slated to executive produce an Assassin's Creed adaptation, though its release remains uncertain. The animation is handled by Studio Mir, the South Korean studio behind The Legend of Korra and X-Men ’97.
Devil May Cry premieres on Netflix April 3, 2025.
