Kevin Conroy's Final Role Unveiled in Devil May Cry Anime Trailer

Get ready for some thrilling demon hunting action! Netflix is bringing the iconic video game series Devil May Cry to life with a new anime adaptation, and they've just released an exciting trailer to give fans a glimpse of what's in store. But perhaps even more thrilling is the news that the legendary late voice actor Kevin Conroy will be featured posthumously in this much-anticipated series.

Kevin Conroy, renowned for his iconic portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman across numerous animated films and TV shows, will lend his voice to the character VP Baines in Devil May Cry. You can hear his distinctive voice in the opening of the trailer, adding a special touch to this new adaptation.

Conroy's posthumous performance in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3, released in July 2024, was met with widespread acclaim. It's heartening to know that fans will get another chance to experience his exceptional talent following his passing in November 2022 at the age of 66. 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 will voice the protagonist, Dante.

According to the official synopsis from Netflix, "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 as an executive producer on films like the 2012 Judge Dredd reboot, Killing Them Softly, and The Voices, will serve as the showrunner for Devil May Cry. Shankar is also set to executive produce an adaptation of Assassin's Creed, though its long-awaited release remains uncertain since its announcement in 2017.

The series will be brought to life by Studio Mir, a renowned South Korean studio with a track record of working on acclaimed projects such as The Legend of Korra and X-Men '97. Devil May Cry is set to premiere on Netflix on April 3, 2025, promising fans a spectacular blend of action, adventure, and the legacy of Kevin Conroy.
