Devil May Cry's Adi Shankar, Johnny Yong Bosch and Scout Taylor-Compton Discuss Netflix Series
113At Collider and Netflix's early screening of Devil May Cry, Episodes 1 and 2, our own Steve Weintraub sat down with the creator, showrunner, and executive producer Adi Shankar (Castlevania) and lead voice actors Johnny Yong Bosch (Akira), who voices Dante, and Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween), the voice of Lady for an exclusive Q&A session.
The series is Shankar's adaptation of the Capcom video game franchise that gives fans a new look at demon-hunting Dante (Bosch), as well as Lady (Taylor-Compton), Vergil (Robbie Daymond), and more. According to Shankar, who confidently penned all the scripts and sent them over to Netflix, "the gift of hindsight" allowed him to explore the world in a fresh way, where he could "look at 20-plus years of material and alchemize it."
Check out the full conversation in the video above or in the transcript below for more on why the show took seven years to put on-screen, what it was like working with the "Nike" of animation, Studio Mir (The Legend of Korra), how bands like Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, and Evanescence have responded to the show, and tons more.
