Kevin Conroy's Final Role in Devil May Cry Anime Revealed by Netflix

The wait is over for fans of the iconic video game series as Netflix brings the action-packed world of Devil May Cry to life with an exciting new anime adaptation. A fresh trailer has just been unveiled, giving us a thrilling glimpse into what's in store. Adding to the excitement, the late, legendary voice actor Kevin Conroy, celebrated for his iconic portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman, will posthumously lend his voice to the series as the character VP Baines. Fans can hear his distinctive voice in the trailer's opening, marking another posthumous performance following his acclaimed work in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3 in July 2024.

Conroy, who passed away in November 2022 at the age of 66, leaves behind a legacy of memorable performances, and his involvement in Devil May Cry is a poignant tribute to his talent. Joining him 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.

The series delves into a gripping narrative where sinister forces are attempting to bridge the human and demon realms. At the heart of this chaos is Dante, an orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire, who remains oblivious to the pivotal role he plays in the fate of both worlds. This storyline promises to blend intense action with deep character development, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.

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's experience in crafting compelling narratives adds another layer of anticipation for the series. Additionally, Studio Mir, the acclaimed South Korean studio behind hits like The Legend of Korra and X-Men '97, will handle the production, ensuring top-notch animation quality.

Mark your calendars, as Devil May Cry is set to premiere on Netflix on April 3, 2025. With a talented cast, a gripping plot, and the expertise of Shankar and Studio Mir, this series is poised to be a must-watch for fans of the game and anime enthusiasts alike.
