The unique, genre-bending world of Scott Pilgrim, which began as a beloved comic book series and exploded into a 2010 cult-classic film, has experienced a massive resurgence in popularity, primarily due to the 2023 Netflix anime series, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. This animated revival was a monumental event because it managed to reunite the entire, now A-list, original cast—a feat virtually unheard of in Hollywood. As of this current date, December 10, 2025, the buzz continues to focus on what these highly successful actors are doing next, following their return to the roles that helped launch many of their careers.
The original ensemble was an unprecedented gathering of future superstars, including three actors who would go on to play iconic Marvel superheroes. From Michael Cera’s awkward charm to Brie Larson’s rockstar swagger and Kieran Culkin’s scene-stealing wit, the cast’s chemistry remains the heart of the franchise. This article dives into the complete cast list and provides a comprehensive, up-to-the-minute look at the massive projects and critical successes of the Scott Pilgrim family in 2024 and 2025.
The Complete Scott Pilgrim Cast: From Toronto Bandmates to Evil Exes
The core cast of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and its animated successor, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, is a roster of incredible talent. The sheer number of future Oscar winners and major franchise stars in this single ensemble is staggering. Below is a list of the main cast members, their roles in the franchise, and a brief biography/profile.
- Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim): The titular bassist for Sex Bob-omb, a 22-year-old slacker in Toronto who must defeat Ramona Flowers' seven evil exes. Cera is known for his roles in Arrested Development, Superbad, and the Oscar-nominated Barbie.
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Ramona Flowers): The mysterious delivery girl and Scott’s love interest, who has a complicated past involving the League of Evil Exes. Winstead has starred in Birds of Prey, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and the Disney+ series Ahsoka.
- Kieran Culkin (Wallace Wells): Scott’s sarcastic, gay roommate and best friend, who often acts as his cynical conscience. Culkin achieved massive critical acclaim for his Emmy-winning role as Roman Roy in the HBO series Succession.
- Chris Evans (Lucas Lee): Ramona’s second evil ex, a famous, arrogant Hollywood action movie star and skateboarder. Evans is globally recognized as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
- Brie Larson (Envy Adams): Ramona’s fourth evil ex, Scott’s ex-girlfriend, and the lead singer of the hugely successful band The Clash at Demonhead. Larson is an Oscar winner and stars as Captain Marvel in the MCU.

The A-List Reunion: Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and Its 2024 Aftermath
The Netflix anime series, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, released in late 2023, was a phenomenal success primarily because of the incredible cast reunion. Every single major actor from the 2010 film returned to voice their characters, a testament to the enduring love they have for the project and each other. The show’s premise, which cleverly subverted the original story by having Scott Pilgrim disappear in the first episode, allowed the other characters—especially Ramona Flowers—to take center stage, exploring new dimensions of the Scott Pilgrim Universe.
The show received critical acclaim for its fresh take, stunning animation, and the chemistry of the returning voice cast. However, for fans hoping for more, the creators, Bryan Lee O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinski, confirmed in November 2024 that there are no plans for a second season, signaling that the story of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is complete as a limited series. This confirmation makes the original film and the anime a perfectly contained, two-part saga, shifting the focus back to the individual careers of the now-superstar ensemble.
Where Are They Now? The Cast's Biggest Projects in 2024 and 2025
What makes the Scott Pilgrim cast so unique is their collective explosion into major Hollywood players over the last decade. Their current and upcoming projects in 2024 and 2025 demonstrate their continued dominance across film, television, and even the stage, cementing their status as some of the most sought-after actors working today. The topical authority of the cast is undeniable, with multiple actors headlining major studio releases and prestige television.
Michael Cera: From Slacker to Director and Leading Man
Michael Cera, who successfully shed the "awkward teen" persona with his Oscar-nominated role in Barbie (2023), is entering a new phase of his career. In 2024 and 2025, Cera is focusing on both acting and directing. He is set to make his directorial debut with an untitled comedy film, which is described as an absurdist, unpredictable project. On the acting front, Cera is starring in the upcoming 2025 films Sacramento, alongside Michael Angarano and Kristen Stewart, and The Phoenician Scheme, a major ensemble film featuring Benicio del Toro and Scarlett Johansson.
The Evil Exes: MCU Stars and Critical Darlings
The actors who played Ramona’s Evil Exes have arguably seen the biggest career transformations, becoming two of the most recognizable faces in the world.
- Chris Evans (Lucas Lee): The former Captain America has a busy slate of films. In late 2024, he starred in the action-comedy Red One. Looking ahead to 2025, Evans is set to star in the romantic-comedy Materialists and the Apple project Project Artemis, where he is rumored to reunite with Scarlett Johansson.
- Brie Larson (Envy Adams): The Oscar winner and Captain Marvel star is diversifying her portfolio. In early 2025, Larson will make her highly anticipated West End stage debut in London, starring as the lead character in the play Elektra. She is also slated to star in the new creature horror film, Fail-Safe, cementing her status across multiple genres, from indie drama to blockbuster cinema.
Kieran Culkin and Aubrey Plaza: The Scene Stealers' Prestige Era
Kieran Culkin and Aubrey Plaza, who played fan-favorite characters Wallace Wells and Julie Powers, respectively, are currently riding a wave of critical acclaim from prestige television.
- Kieran Culkin (Wallace Wells): Fresh off his Emmy win for *Succession*, Culkin is focusing on high-profile film and stage work. In 2024, he received critical praise for his performance in the buddy comedy film A Real Pain, written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg. His next major move is a return to the stage in Spring 2025, starring in a Broadway revival of David Mamet’s classic play, Glengarry Glen Ross.
- Aubrey Plaza (Julie Powers): Known for her dry wit, Plaza had a strong 2024 with the release of the movie Megalopolis. Her upcoming projects include the highly anticipated Marvel series Agatha All Along, where she is set for a major role, and the 2025 movie releases My Old Ass and Honey Don't!
The enduring legacy of the Scott Pilgrim cast is not just their past success, but their continuing, massive influence on modern entertainment. Their reunion for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off served as a perfect, nostalgic bridge, but their individual careers in 2025 prove that this ensemble is anything but a blast from the past—they are the current and future faces of Hollywood.
