The ‘Scott Pilgrim Takes Off’ Voice Cast Will Blow Your Mind

IF YOU'RE LOOKING at movies released since the year 2000, there aren't many with casts that rival the star power of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. While Edgar Wright's 2010 genre-bending flick is part romcom, part action movie, part video game, and a whole lot of fun, it also features a cast of actors that was impressive at the time and has become even more notable in the 13 years since the film's release. Now, Netflix is releasing Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, an Anime-style reimagining of the film's story, featuring the entire original cast as they reprise their roles for a visually-stunning and super-fun new project.

Led by Michael Cera's Scott Pilgrim, the cast also includes a number of superheroes (Chris Evans, Brie Larson, Brandon Routh), TV superstars (Kieran Culkin, Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and just all-around awesome actors (Jason Schwartzman, Aubrey Plaza). And that's just the beginning.

As Scott Pilgrim Takes Off dives deeper and deeper into the new version of this same story (seriously—there are more twists than you probably expect), you may recognize some voices from some things—and you may not recognize some others. If you're finding yourself hypnotized by the video game-esque visuals, or the quite funny humor (courtesy of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off' showrunner BenDavid Grabinski) and catch a voice that sounds familiar but that you can't quite place... then you've come to the right story.

Below, we've got the most notable members of the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off voice cast—and we'd be willing to bet you know (and are probably a big fan of) just about all of them.

Michael Cera - Scott Pilgrim

The titular character returns! You couldn't do a Scott Pilgrim project without Michael Cera, and so he returned to play the toxic romantic at the story's center. Cera is of course best known for his work in Arrested Development and movies like Superbad, Juno, and This Is The End. He's had a great 2023, playing Allan in Barbie and taking on a supporting role alongside Nicolas Cage in Dream Scenario.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead - Ramona Flowers

In addition to becoming one of our best action stars, Mary Elizabeth Winstead has also become one of our very best actresses. She was a shining star on TV in Season 3 of Fargo, entered the Star Wars universe earlier this year in Ahsoka, and now returns to perhaps her most famous role—as the dynamo catalyst for the entire Scott Pilgrim story, Ramona Flowers—in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. Winstead has also appeared in a number of movies, including Death Proof, Final Destination 3, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and Birds of Prey.

Kieran Culkin - Wallace Wells

While Kieran Culkin has been steadily working for just about his entire life, he's had a pretty major break in the time since he first appeared in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, landing the role of Roman Roy in a little show called Succession. Roman's lewd and vulgar ways aren't quite the same as Wallace's dry and sarcastic manner, but Culkin's wit is present in just about every role he ever plays.

Ellen Wong - Knives Chau

Ellen Wong has played roles in movies like The Circle and notably was a series regular in Netflix's underrated and unjustly cancelled GLOW. Now, she returns to play Scott Pilgrim's "girlfriend" Knives Chau in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.

Jason Schwartzman - Gideon Graves

Has anyone had a bigger 2023 than Jason Schwartzman? The actor has been well-known and much-loved ever since his breakout role in Wes Anderson's Rushmore, but this year saw him as the de facto lead in the same director's wonderful Asteroid City. He also played the villainous Spot in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, turned up in a guest role in Season 3 of I Think You Should Leave, had a supporting role in Quiz Lady, and now, on the same day, is releasing Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Impressive stuff for an impressive dude!

Alison Pill - Kim Pine

Alison Pill is one of those actors who just shows up in a movie or show and you know it's better for it. Some of her most notable roles include Alex Garland's FX/Hulu series Devs, The Newsroom, and Hail, Caesar. Now, she returns to Scott Pilgrim Takes Off to once again play Kim, Scott's bandmate (and ex-girlfriend).

Chris Evans - Lucas Lee

Best known for his role as Steve Rogers/Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Evans has always enjoyed doing lots of stuff that doesn't involve being an Avenger as well. Comedy fans know him best for his debut role in Not Another Teen Movie, he's played other comic book characters in Fantastic Four and The Losers,and he's shown off his acting chops in movies like Snowpiercer and The Gray Man. Now, Evans returns to once again play the totally ridiculous movie star Lucas Lee—probably his funniest role—in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.

Brie Larson - Envy Adams

Both an Avenger and an Oscar-winner (for 2015's Room), Brie Larson may just be the most accomplished member of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World's cast. Larson was a child star who always worked consistently, but now is a genuine A-lister. Her 2023 has been a balanced one, with both The Marvels and her Apple TV+ show Lessons in Chemistry landing in the second half of the year. Larson's musical performance scene—as Envy Adams, lead singer of in-universe band The Clash at Demonhead—is the best scene in the movie, and very possibly of her career. It's unforgettable. And now she's reprising that same role in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.

Aubrey Plaza - Julie Powers

Aubrey Plaza has become one of the most exciting actors of our era, both super funny (in her own specific way) and capable of really great dramatic work as well. She was a major highlight of The White Lotus Season 2, has done great work in the dark superhero show Legion, and, of course, played April Ludgate in Parks & Recreation. Now she returns to voice Julie Powers in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.

Satya Bhabha - Matthew Patel

Satya Bhabha, who plays Ramona Singer's first Evil Ex Matthew Patel, is known well for his role as Shivrang in New Girl in addition to his turn in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. In Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Matthew Patel's story gets a slight remix that fans may quite enjoy.

Anna Kendrick - Stacey Pilgrim

Anna Kendrick's career has been on fire ever since her breakout role alongside George Clooney in Up In The Air: she's best known, probably, for Pitch Perfect, but has also done great work in A Simple Favor, 50/50, and Love Life, among other things. In the Scott Pilgrim projects, she plays Scott's sister, Stacey.

Mark Webber - Stephen Stills

Any Nickelodeon fans out there? In addition to his role as Sex Bob-omb frontman Stephen Stills in the Scott Pilgrim projects, Webber also led the late '90s Nick touchstone film Snow Day (and was very busy in teen projects around that time in general). He's also appeared in the fantastic horror film Green Room and is, in general, a fun presence to have in movies or shows.

Brandon Routh - Todd Ingram

Back in 2006, Brandon Routh led Superman Returns as the Man of Steel himself. In the years since, though, Routh has transformed into a versatile character actor, always willing to have a good time and do whatever writers and directors throw at him (including a hilarious turn in Zack and Miri Make a Porno and a surprise appearance across the CW DC Universe where he reprised his role as Clark Kent). Now, he steps back into his Scott Pilgrim role as Todd, the drummer for The Clash at Demonhead, and one of Ramona's Evil Exes.
