Netflix has announced a Scott Pilgrim Vs The World anime is in the works and the full cast is returning.
That’s right, the likes of Michael Cera, Chris Evans and Anna Kendrick will all voice their original characters in the new series, which is based on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novels and will be animated by Science Saru.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead also returns to play Ramona Flowers, the love interest of Michael’s character Scott Pilgrim in the 2010 comedy.
In the film, Scott is a slacker and bassist in an Indie band called Sex Bob-omb who must fight Ramona’s seven evil ex-partners to survive and keep seeing her.
While all is happening, Scott is also dating Knives Chau, played by Glow star Ellen Wong.
The original adaptation was heavily influenced by video games and featured characters receiving level-ups and points after defeating enemies.

He wrote: ‘This is not a drill! This is happening! After much musing over the years about there being potential for an anime adaptation of Scott Pilgrim, I’m thrilled to say one is IMMINENT, with the whole cast back together and… you are going to lose your minds.’
Edgar added: ‘One of the proudest, most enjoyable achievements of my career was assembling the dynamite cast of Scott Pilgrim. Since the film’s release in 2010 we’ve done Q&As and charity read throughs, but there was never the occasion to reunite the gang on an actual project. Until now…’
