Scott Pilgrim vs. The World follows the story the original comic book series closely. However, the new Netflix anime series, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, developed by O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinski, will take a little detour. O’Malley, the creator of Scott Pilgrim, mentioned that the anime wouldn’t exactly follow the original story since he didn’t want to rewrite it as it is. “The idea of spending years on a project that is just beat for beat the same thing feels like a waste of time,” Grabinski added, backing up O’Malley.
In addition to the already-mentioned roles, the Netflix anime also stars Julian Cihi alongside returning names like Aubrey Plaza, Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, Alison Pill, Johnny Simmons, Mark Webber, Ellen Wong, Brandon Routh, Jason Schwartzman, Mae Whitman, and Satya Bhabha. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World comes to Netflix U.S. on November 1 ahead of the anime adaptation which will hit Netflix screens on November 17, 2023.
