Let the demon hunting begin! Netflix has unleashed the anime adaptation of the beloved video game series, Devil May Cry, and fans are in for a treat with a freshly released trailer. But the excitement doesn't stop there—legendary voice actor Kevin Conroy, known for his iconic portrayal of Batman, will posthumously lend his voice to the series as VP Baines, a new character introduced in the trailer's opening.

Conroy, who passed away in November 2022 at the age of 66, was lauded for his final performance in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3, released in July 2024. Fans now have another opportunity to enjoy his remarkable talent in this new adaptation. The cast also includes 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."

Adi Shankar, known for his work on films like Dredd, Killing Them Softly, and The Voices, will serve as the showrunner for Devil May Cry. Shankar is also attached to an upcoming Assassin’s Creed adaptation, though its release remains uncertain since its announcement in 2017.

Studio Mir, the renowned South Korean studio behind projects like The Legend of Korra and X-Men ‘97, will handle the production of this thrilling series. Mark your calendars—Devil May Cry will premiere on Netflix on April 3, 2025.
