Chris Evans, Brandon Routh, Brie Larson, Mae Whitman, Ellen Wong and Anna Kendrick are the latest to join Edgar Wright’s upcoming action comedy “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World."
Based on the graphic novel by Bryan Lee O’Malle, the film centers on a guy who has to defeat his new girlfriend’s seven ex-boyfriends. Michael Cera will play titular character Scott Pilgrim, while Mary Elizabeth Winstead will take over the role of his love interest.
The Hollywood Reporter has more information about who the new cast members will play:
"Evans plays evil boyfriend No. 2, Lucas Lee, a pro skateboarder-turned-movie star, while Routh plays the third evil boyfriend, Todd Ingram, a rocker with vegan psychic powers. Larson plays Pilgrim's ex-girlfriend, Envy Adams, for whom he still has feelings.
Also joining the pic, which will shoot Toronto, are Mae Whitman as Roxy Richter, the fourth ex, a female who is half-ninja; Ellen Wong as Knives Chau, who Pilgrim is dating when he meets his dream girl; and Anna Kendrick as Pilgrim's sister."
Darn, that's quite the supporting cast. Just last week, Kieran Culkin also joined the project. He will be playing Pilgrim's responsible gay roomate, with whom he shares a bed (Pilgrim, however, is heterosexual).
I never read the garphic novel, so feel free to share what you think about it just below.
