Netflix’s ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ anime series is bringing back the entire cast from the original film

Edgar Wright is a man who truly lives up to his name, having made a number of irrefutably right creative decisions over the course of his career, and one of his shiniest accomplishments has to be Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the 2010 film adaptation of the beloved graphic novel of the same name, complete with all the snappy, stylish strokes that such a film would necessitate.

And though it seems like Wright’s time as the Pilgrim gaffer has concluded, his influence is set to live on through Netflix, the developers of the upcoming Scott Pilgrim vs. the World anime, which, per The Hollywood Reporter, has accomplished the hype-inducing task of recruiting the film’s original cast for voice roles in the series.

For those of you not in the know, the Scott Pilgrim film adaptation is home to one of the most stacked casts in recent memory, including Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the leading roles of Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers. Elsewhere, scene-stealers Kieran Culkin, Aubrey Plaza, and Anna Kendrick appear as some of the more contentious people in Scott’s life (don’t worry, he deserves all the contention in the world), and the likes of Chris Evans, Brie Larson, Jason Schwartzman, and Mae Whitman shore up the ranks of Scott and Ramona’s dastardly exes.

Spearheading the series is the one man better for the job than Wright; Bryan Lee O’Malley, the creator of the original graphic novel. Indeed, with the creator of Scott Pilgrim himself serving as showrunner, writer, and executive producer with a voice cast that any project would be jealous of, the Scott Pilgrim anime will no doubt be one to keep an eye out for.
