Netflix's Scott Pilgrim anime series is bringing back movie's entire cast
Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and more are set to reprise their Scott Pilgrim vs. the World roles in Netflix's new anime adaptation. The streamer announced that the entire cast of the Edgar Wright movie, which was released in 2010, will be reuniting for the show – and we couldn't be more hyped.
Based on Bryan Lee O'Malley's graphic novels, the film follows Scott Pilgrim (Cera), a Toronto-living slacker and bassist, who finds himself fighting the seven evil exes of his new crush Ramona Flowers (Winstead) in an attempt to win her affections. Considering that the show is being described as "a new adventure", set to fresh tunes by Anamanaguchi, it'll likely focus on another stage of Scott and Ramona's relationship.
Among those returning for the 2D version are Aubrey Plaza (as Julie Powers), Ellen Wong (Knives Chau), Alison Pill (Roxie Richter), Johnny Simmons (Young Neil), Mark Webber (Stephen Stills), Anna Kendrick (Stacey Pilgrim), Kieran Culkin (Wallace Wells), and Brie Larson (Envy Adams).
Satya Bhabha,Brandon Routh, Mae Whitman, Jason Schwartzman, and Chris Evans will also be back, voicing Ramona's past partners. For now, it seems as if Shota Seito and Keita Seito are the only major players not involved, having previously portrayed Ramona's literal twin flames Kyle and Ken Katayanagi.
