Netflix’s adaptation of Capcom's iconic franchise brought a high-octane visual style and a powerhouse English voice cast to the screen. Headlined by veteran voice talent and heavy hitters from animation and games, the series relies heavily on its vocal performances to ground its chaotic demonic action. If you're wondering who brought Dante, Vergil, and the rest of the underworld to life, here is the complete breakdown of the main cast, recurring players, and behind-the-scenes production details.
Main Cast and Characters
The animated series centers around familiar figures from the Capcom games, reimagined by showrunner Adi Shankar for Netflix. The primary voice actors anchor the show's core emotional and physical conflicts.
- Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante: Bosch takes on the role of the half-demon, pizza-loving paranormal investigator. Interestingly, franchise fans already know Bosch well; he previously voiced Dante's nephew, Nero, in Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5. In this adaptation, his vocal performance captures Dante's signature casual arrogance alongside the heavy burdens he carries.
- Robbie Daymond as Vergil: Dante's estranged twin brother is voiced by Daymond, known for roles in major animated projects and games. Daymond brings a sharp, calculated intensity to Vergil, portraying his obsession with power and his deep-seated rivalry with Dante.
- Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary / Lady: Best known for her horror film roots, Taylor-Compton voices the lethal demon hunter Mary, better known as Lady. Her performance balances hardened cynicism with a tragic past linked to the series' overarching conspiracy.
- Hoon Lee as White Rabbit: Lee portrays the menacing demon crime boss driving much of the chaos. Known for standout turns in high-profile television dramas, Lee infuses the character with chilling charisma.
Supporting and Special Guest Roles
Beyond the core quartet, the series features a sprawling roster of voice talent filling out government conspiracies and demonic factions alike.
- Graham McTavish as Arius: McTavish steps into the shoes of the sorcerer and corporate head Arius. Having previously collaborated with Adi Shankar on Castlevania, McTavish brings a commanding theatricality to the role.
- Kevin Conroy as VP Baines: The legendary voice of Batman makes a poignant appearance as Vice President Baines in season one. This project marks one of the final television voice-acting performances of Conroy's storied career.
- Jon Gries as President Hopper: Known for live-action comedic and dramatic roles, Gries voices the commander-in-chief caught completely off guard by the sudden escalation of paranormal threats.
- Ray Chase as Mundus / Rudra / Agni: Chase pulls double (and triple) duty, lending his range to iconic entities from the game lore, giving distinct vocal identities to heavy hitters and classic foes.
Production and Direction
The English voice production was managed by Igloo Music, with Gene Vassilaros serving as voice director. The localization and voice matching process aimed to bridge the gap between traditional video game archetypes and serialized adult animation. Production took place alongside Studio Mir, ensuring the mouth flaps and dramatic timing matched the 2D action sequences.
