The hunt for demons is about to kick off in style as Netflix unveils its much-anticipated anime adaptation of the iconic video game series, *Devil May Cry*. A thrilling new trailer has been released, giving fans a glimpse into the action-packed world that awaits. But perhaps the most electrifying news is the posthumous involvement of the legendary voice actor, Kevin Conroy, known affectionately as the voice of Batman in numerous animated series and films. Conroy will lend his voice to the character VP Baines, adding a poignant touch to the series.
Conroy's last notable performance was in *Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3* in July 2024, where he was celebrated for his moving portrayal. Now, fans can look forward to experiencing his talent once more in *Devil May Cry*, marking a heartfelt tribute 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, who voices the protagonist, Dante.
According to Netflix's official synopsis, the series delves into a gripping narrative where "sinister forces are at play to open the portal between the human and demon realms." At the heart of this chaos is Dante, an orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire, who remains unaware that the fate of both worlds rests on his shoulders.
Adi Shankar, known for his work on films like the 2012 *Dredd* reboot, *Killing Them Softly*, and *The Voices*, will serve as the showrunner for *Devil May Cry*. Shankar's portfolio also includes an upcoming adaptation of *Assassin’s Creed*, though its release remains uncertain since its announcement in 2017. The series will be brought to life by Studio Mir, the acclaimed South Korean studio behind *The Legend of Korra* and *X-Men ‘97*.
Mark your calendars: *Devil May Cry* is set to premiere on Netflix on April 3, 2025. Get ready for a thrilling ride into the realms of demons and destiny.
