Nearly seven years sinceCastlevania producer Adi Shankar first acquired the rights to Devil May Cry, Capcom’s demon hunter-for-hire Dante is finally about to grace our screens in smokin’ sexy style. After a bevy of teasers in recent years, and even a new song from the band Evanescence celebrating the occasion, the animated series premieres on Netflix on April 3, and, according to the creator, it’s about to be big. Shankar has previously stated his goal from the get-go was to make “one of the best shows on the Netflix platform, period,” even if it took longer to get there eventually. In an interview with GamesRadar+, he’s now sharing how Hollywood blockbusters like Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight trilogy inspired his journey to adapting the white-haired hero to television.
