Kevin Conroy's Final Role in Devil May Cry Anime Revealed by Netflix in New Trailer

Let the demon hunting begin. Netflix is bringing the iconic video game franchise Devil May Cry to life with an anime series, and fans have been treated to a thrilling new trailer. But what might be even more exciting is that the legendary late voice actor Kevin Conroy will posthumously star in this new adaptation.

Conroy, beloved for his iconic portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman in numerous animated films and TV shows, takes on the role of VP Baines, a new character introduced in the series. You can hear his distinctive voice in the opening of the trailer, adding a touch of gravitas to the upcoming show.

Back in July 2024, Conroy's posthumous performance in *Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3* was widely acclaimed, and it's a testament to his enduring legacy that fans will get another chance to hear his voice 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 as the series' 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.”

The series is helmed by showrunner Adi Shankar, known for his work on the 2012 Judge Dredd reboot film Dredd, Killing Them Softly starring Brad Pitt, and The Voices with Ryan Reynolds. Shankar is also set to executive produce an adaptation of Assassin’s Creed, though its long-awaited release remains uncertain.

Studio Mir, the acclaimed South Korean studio behind hits like The Legend of Korra and X-Men ‘97, will handle the production of this eagerly anticipated series. Devil May Cry is slated to premiere on Netflix on April 3, 2025.
