Get ready to unleash your inner demon hunter! Netflix is bringing the electrifying world of Devil May Cry to anime, and a brand-new trailer offers a thrilling first look. Even more exciting? The legendary Kevin Conroy lends his voice posthumously to this adaptation.

Conroy, forever celebrated as the iconic voice of Batman, takes on the role of VP Baines, a new character whose voiceover introduces this sneak peek. His posthumous performance follows his acclaimed work in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3, a fitting tribute to his talent following his passing in November 2022 at age 66. Joining Conroy in the voice cast are Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary, Hoon Lee as White Rabbit, Chris Coppola as Enzo, and Johnny Yong Bosch as the legendary Dante himself.

Netflix's official synopsis teases: “Sinister forces are at play, threatening to tear open the portal between the human and demon realms. At the heart of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon hunter-for-hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds rests on his shoulders.”

Adi Shankar, known for his work on films like Dredd and Killing Them Softly, serves as showrunner. He's also slated to executive produce a Assassin's Creed adaptation, though its future remains uncertain. The animation will be handled by Studio Mir, the South Korean studio behind acclaimed series such as The Legend of Korra and X-Men ‘97.

Devil May Cry arrives on Netflix April 3, 2025.
