Get ready to dive into the thrilling world of demon hunting as Netflix unveils its highly anticipated anime adaptation of the iconic video game series, *Devil May Cry*. Fans were treated to an exciting new trailer, but the buzz doesn’t stop there. The legendary late voice actor Kevin Conroy, renowned for his iconic portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman in numerous animated projects, will posthumously lend his voice to the series as VP Baines. You can catch a glimpse of his character in the opening voiceover of the trailer.
Conroy's last voice role in *Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3* was met with widespread acclaim in July 2024, making his posthumous contribution to *Devil May Cry* even more poignant. Following his passing in November 2022 at the age of 66, fans are eager to experience his remarkable talent once more. Joining Conroy in the cast are Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary, Hoon Lee as White Rabbit, Chris Coppola as Enzo, and Johnny Yong Bosch, who voices 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 series will be brought to life by showrunner Adi Shankar, who has an impressive resume including executive producing the 2012 *Judge Dredd* reboot film *Dredd*, *Killing Them Softly* starring Brad Pitt, and *The Voices* with Ryan Reynolds. Shankar is also set to executive produce an adaptation of *Assassin’s Creed*, though its progress remains uncertain since its announcement in 2017.
Studio Mir, the acclaimed South Korean studio behind hits like *The Legend of Korra* and *X-Men ‘97*, will handle the production. Mark your calendars for April 3, 2025, when *Devil May Cry* premieres on Netflix.
