The conversation was revealed by franchise creator and 'Scott Pilgrim Takes Off' show runner Brian Lee O'Malley.
The Big Picture Fans of Scott Pilgrim are a loyal fanbase that never let the franchise die ever since the first movie was released in 2010. And as it turns out, neither did its lead actor. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, franchise creator and comic book author Brian Lee O’Malley revealed that Michael Cera revived an e-mail thread with all the team just before Netflix greenlit the upcoming anime series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
During the interview, O’Malley commented that it was such a coincidence that Cera's e-mail and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off came about at the same time that it’s no wonder that the cast and director/producer Edgar Wright often bring it up. The thing about it was, the e-mail thread had been dormant for so long that it even prompted a hilarious reaction from Chris Evans :
“The cast have spoken about this email chain a lot but there’s one detail that I don’t think anyone has mentioned. We were exchanging emails when the movie was coming out and then this thread went dormant for about nine years. Then, before this anime was even on the docket, Michael Cera responded to a meme someone had sent as if no time had passed. He just said, ‘Oh, that’s funny.
Scott Pilgrim Is Revived In The Best Way Possible The great thing about the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off animated series is that the whole original cast agreed to come back to voice their characters. During the pandemic times, fans were treated to a virtual table read that showed how all cast members are still enthusiastic about the story.
Aside from Cera as the title character and Evans as Lucas Lee, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off will also feature the voices of Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona Flowers, Kieran Culkin as Wallace Wells, Ellen Wong as Knives Chau, Brie Larson as Envy Adams, Mae Whitman as Roxie Richter, Brandon Routh as Todd Ingram, Anna Kendrick as Stacey Pilgrim, Aubrey Plaza as Julie Powers, Johnny Simmons as Young Neil, Satya Bhabha as Matthew Patel and Jason Schwartzman as Gideon Graves.
