Netflix’s Devil May Cry anime won’t feature Chris Pratt, producer says

The year is 2021 and the internet breathes a collective sigh of relief each time we get confirmation that Chris Pratt isn’t an actor attached to a project, apparently.

Netflix announced in 2018 that it was developing an anime based on Devil May Cry, the action franchise from Capcom, to be helmed by Adi Shankar, producer of the streaming service’s Castlevania anime. In a recent interview, Shankar gave some details about Devil May Cry’s status. But one thing stood out.

“I can also confirm that Chris Pratt won’t be voicing any of the characters,” Shankar told IGN, after saying that popular characters from the Devil May Cry games would appear in the anime.

The jokey comment refers to the recent news of Pratt’s casting in two animated movies: as Garfield in an unnamed film from Sony Pictures, and as Mario in Illumination’s feature-length animated Mario movie.

Pratt has become the focus of fans online lately — this week, he posted a photo of him and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, on Instagram with a sappy caption that divided the internet. Prior to that, Pratt went on Twitter and assured people that he was hard at work playing Mario.

He cast Garfield after his casting. became a literal memeWhere people laughed about it fake announcements for his casting. Chris Pratt can voice any animated series. Therefore, it makes sense that Shankar was also the executive producer for animated Netflix. Castlevania Series, we would like to be able to relax our worries.
