The adventures of Scott Pilgrim will be continue in an animated series for Netflix, 13 years after ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ was first released in theatres.
Netflix revealed on Thursday that its brand-new anime adaptation of the original comic book series will go above and beyond by recruiting the entire live-action cast for the anime.
Michael Cera (as Scott Pilgrim), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (as Ramona Flowers), Aubrey Plaza (as Julie Powers), Chris Evans (as Lucas Lee) Ellen Wong (as Knives Chau), Alison Pill (as Roxie Richter), Johnny Simmons (as Young Neil), Mark Webber (as Stephen Stills), Anna Kendrick (as Stacey Pilgrim), Kieran Culkin (as Wallace Wells) and Brie Larson (Envy Adams) are among the actors who will return for the 2D version.

The movie follows bassist and slacker Scott Pilgrim (Cera), who lives in Toronto, as he battles Ramona Flowers’ seven nasty ex-boyfriends in an effort to win her love. Given that the show is billed as “a new adventure” with original music by Anamanaguchi, it will probably concentrate on a different phase of Scott and Ramona’s relationship.
