Scott Pilgrim vs. The World closely adheres to the storyline of the original comic book series. However, the forthcoming Netflix anime series, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, created by O'Malley and BenDavid Grabinski, will take a slight diversion. O'Malley, the mastermind behind Scott Pilgrim, acknowledged that the anime would not precisely follow the original narrative since he preferred not to reproduce it identically. "Spending years on a project that simply replicates every single detail feels like a futile endeavor," added Grabinski, supporting O’Malley.
In addition to the roles mentioned earlier, the Netflix anime features Julian Cihi, along with familiar faces such as Aubrey Plaza, Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, Alison Pill, Johnny Simmons, Mark Webber, Ellen Wong, Brandon Routh, Jason Schwartzman, Mae Whitman, and Satya Bhabha. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World will be available on Netflix U.S. starting November 1, preceding the anime adaptation that will premiere on November 17, 2023. Keep an eye on our website for updates.
