Michael Cera Reveals Exciting Plans for Scott Pilgrim Anime Remake!

Actor Michael Cera shares insights on the anime adaptation of Scott Pilgrim. The popular graphic novel series, originally created by Bryan Lee O'Malley, revolves around the main character, a laid-back individual who finds himself engaged in battles with Ramona Flowers' seven exes after falling for her. Cera, who played the lead role in the 2010 film adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, recently confirmed that he and the rest of the cast will be reprising their roles for the upcoming Netflix series. During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Cera expressed his excitement about returning as Scott Pilgrim and working with the same actors to create a fresh version of the story. Although he admitted to not having much knowledge about the project, Cera hinted at the humor that viewers can expect from the Scott Pilgrim anime remake.

It's amazing that we have the opportunity to create more of it. I've never had the chance to work with the same group of people on a new version like this before. It's quite extraordinary. The whole experience feels very unusual! It's heartwarming that people still show interest, watch it, and find joy in it. That's definitely a sign of great success. I believe it's going to be incredibly funny. I've had a blast recording it and hearing what others are contributing. There have been a few songs... I'm not entirely sure what to expect, but I know it's going to be hilarious.

How The Scott Pilgrim Anime Remake Could Be Different

Despite its underperformance at the box office, Edgar Wright's 2010 adaptation garnered critical acclaim for its unique style and has since cultivated a devoted fanbase. With O'Malley collaborating on the Netflix series alongside BenDavid Grabinski, there is natural curiosity about the show's visual aesthetic and how it will compare to the original project. O'Malley has hinted at unexpected moments in the Scott Pilgrim anime, while Wright, serving as an executive producer, has tantalized fans with promises of fresh elements incorporated into the remake.

The new series is expected to bring together the action sequences in a captivating way, especially considering the existence of a video game adaptation of the source material. Prior to the movie, an anime version titled Scott Pilgrim vs. The Animation was released, focusing on the protagonist's relationship with Kim Pine and featuring the same cast. This suggests that the upcoming show has the potential to further delve into the lives of Scott Pilgrim and the other characters.

Fans of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World will be thrilled to know that Michael Cera will be returning for the new series. Additionally, other notable stars such as Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans, Brie Larson, Anna Kendrick, and Aubrey Plaza will be reprising their roles from the film. While there is no confirmed release date yet, fans can stay tuned for any future updates regarding Scott Pilgrim.
