Devil May Cry (2025): Dante Slashes His Way Onto Netflix in This Animated Action Epic

Get ready, demon-hunters! Dante is back, and this time, he’s bringing his signature badassery, slick one-liners, and over-the-top action to Netflix in the highly anticipated Devil May Cry animated series.

Created by Adi Shankar (Castlevania), animated by Studio Mir, and featuring Johnny Yong Bosch (Nero in DMC 4 & 5) as Dante, this series is shaping up to be a stylish, action-packed adaptation of Capcom’s legendary hack-and-slash franchise.

Mark your calendars—Devil May Cry slashes its way onto Netflix on April 3, 2025! 🔥

The Alley Fight Sneak Peek: A Taste of What’s Coming

Netflix just dropped an exclusive sneak peek called "Alley Fight", and fans are already hyped. In the clip, we see Dante in his

element—smirking, stylish, and slicing through demons with ease.

🔥 What stands out?

• Gorgeous animation by Studio Mir (The Legend of Korra, My Adventures with Superman)

• Fluid combat sequences straight out of the games

• Dante’s cocky, devil-may-care attitude—a perfect balance of cool and comedic

• A thirst-trap-worthy Dante (as Netflix cheekily put it)

The action is fast, brutal, and beautifully choreographed, staying true to the high-speed, combo-heavy combat that made the Devil May Cry games iconic.

A Devilish New Threat: What’s the Story?

The official synopsis teases that a mysterious villain is trying to open the gates of Hell, and Dante might be humanity’s last hope.

👿 Expect:

✅ Epic demon-slaying action

✅ A deep dive into the Devil May Cry lore

✅ Dante’s signature style—red coat, Rebellion sword, Ebony & Ivory pistols

✅ The return of familiar faces (and maybe some surprises?)

Since this series is part of Adi Shankar’s "Bootleg Multiverse", we can expect a mature, dark, yet fun take on the Devil May Cry mythos—much like what he did with Castlevania.

The Voice Cast: Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante

One of the biggest casting changes is that Johnny Yong Bosch (Nero in DMC 4 & 5) will voice Dante instead of longtime actor Reuben Langdon.

While some fans were disappointed by the change, Bosch is a fantastic voice actor with plenty of experience in the DMC universe. If the Alley Fight clip is any indication, he’s bringing a fresh, energetic take on the iconic demon hunter.

Why This Adaptation Could Be a Game-Changer

🔥 1. Studio Mir’s Animation QualityWith stunning visuals and fluid combat animation, Studio Mir is the perfect choice to bring Dante’s flashy fights to life.

🔥 2. Adi Shankar’s Track RecordAfter knocking it out of the park with Castlevania, Adi Shankar knows how to handle video game adaptations with respect to the source material while adding depth and originality.

🔥 3. A Mature, Action-Packed StoryExpect brutal fight sequences, witty dialogue, and deep lore—everything fans love about Devil May Cry.
