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 late, legendary voice actor Kevin Conroy will posthumously star in this eagerly awaited series.
Conroy, renowned 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, adding a poignant touch to the project.
Conroy's posthumous performance was previously celebrated in *Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3* in July 2024, and his involvement in *Devil May Cry* offers fans another chance to appreciate his remarkable talent following his passing in November 2022 at the age of 66. Joining him 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 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."
Studio Mir, the acclaimed South Korean studio behind The Legend of Korra and X-Men ‘97, will handle the production of this new series. Devil May Cry is slated to premiere on Netflix on April 3, 2025.
