In this thrilling episode of IGN, we delve into the fiery depths of Dante's Inferno, where the brilliant mind behind the successful Castlevania adaptation, AI Shankar, now sets his sights on the beloved Devil May Cry series. With Johnny Yang BOS stepping into the role of Dante, the anticipation for this animated series is palpable. Shankar's unapologetic passion for Devil May Cry shines through as he recounts his personal connection to the game, dressed head-to-toe in character during his meeting with Capcom. It's a story of raw enthusiasm and creative destiny, reminiscent of a young Elon Musk building rockets in his garage.
As we witness Johnny's transition from playing Nero to embodying the iconic Dante, the discussion turns to the perceived niche status of Devil May Cry in Hollywood. Shankar's bold approach to amplifying the essence of the series without compromising its integrity draws parallels to Christopher Nolan's reinvention of Batman. It's a refreshing take on adaptation, promising a blend of nostalgia and innovation that will captivate both die-hard fans and newcomers alike. The incorporation of popular game characters and new metal songs, along with a sneak peek at the show's clip, hints at a dynamic and immersive experience that stays true to the franchise's roots.
Johnny's infectious excitement for his role in the series is evident as he takes on the challenge of delivering an iconic line from the original Devil May Cry game. The emotional depth and commitment he brings to the performance, coupled with his past experience in motion capture for Trish, underscore the dedication of the entire team to honoring the essence of Devil May Cry. With a release date set for April 3rd on Netflix, the countdown begins for fans to immerse themselves in this animated adventure that promises to be a thrilling homage to a gaming classic. So buckle up, folks, as Devil May Cry roars onto the screen with all the intensity and flair of a high-octane race down memory lane.
