Netflix has just announced the voice cast of Scott Pilgrim. The Anime, which will feature the return of all the major stars from the live-action Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World film, including Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Brie Larsen, and Chris Evans to reprise their movie roles, this time in voice form.
🚨🚨THIS IS NOT A DRILL!🚨🚨

So that’s Cera as Scott, Winstead as Ramona, Jason Schwartzman as Gideon, Mae Whitman as Roxy, Kieran Culkin as Wallace, Aubrey Plaza as Julie, and… you see where this is going. The full announcement is below, but if you’re expecting to see some animation, or even a hint at the style, you might be disappointed.
While the Netflix anime series was announced in early 2022, rumours of it were swirling around in 2020. Wright had spoken to EW about the possibility of doing an animated version of the comic book by Bryan Lee O’Malley, and postulated even then, “What if we did something with the books in anime form? It’s being discussed as we speak.”
But the fact that the entire cast of the movie is back is amazing, Chris Evans and Brie Larsen especially, since they’re now mega-stars, but many of the stars of this film have achieved a higher degree of fame since starring in Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. But that’s not all who might be returning…
You will be very happy.

Anamanaguchi is the pop band that created the excellent soundtrack for the excellent Scott Pilgrim video game. If they’re back to score the series, this may end up being the best Scott Pilgrim adaptation humanly possible to make.
