📽Scott Pilgrim Anime Features a Reunion Cast that is Surprisingly Superhero-studded📽

Aubrey Plaza, AKA Julie Powers, is Amahl Farouk/Shadow King

As Parks and Rec's April Ludgate, Aubrey Plaza proved to millions of TV viewers that she was capable of great evil. That evil came to fruition when she played the mind-altering, reality-warping demonic enity Amahl Farouk, also called the Shadow King, in FX's Legion. It's a pretty different character than the comic version, but it's a chilling performance nonetheless, probably the creeepiest superperson a Scott Pilgrim veteran has portrayed.

Brandon Routh, AKA Todd Ingram, is The Atom/Superman

(And don't think I forgot about Winstead's other secret identity: Gwen Grayson in the 2005 teen superhero romp Sky High. I just didn't put it above because it came out in 2005, years before Scott Pilgrim.

I could never forget Sky High.)

Brie Larson, AKA Envy Adams, is Captain Marvel

Marvel fans are about to say "Hello again, friend of a friend" to Carol Danvers as she returns to the big screen for The Marvels this November. As a central character to the MCU's multiverse saga, Larson's Captain Marvel may be the most relevant hero and Pilgrim alum in terms of comic book movies right now.

That isn't in the metaphorical sense, as in "They're all heroes for bringing this anime to life" or "They're all villains for making me add another streaming service to my bill." I mean that out of the fifteen people that starred in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and are now returning for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, eight of them have since donned a mask to fight (or do) evil.

Let's take a look at who they've played, shall we?
