Long before the MCU, Captain N was Nintendo’s own cinematic universe, featuring characters from NES hits of the day such as the Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Kid Icarus, as well as Konami’s Castlevania and Capcom’s Mega-Man. Shankar said during the announcement of Captain Laserhawk at Netflix Geeked Week 2021 that the show was partly influenced by 1980s cartoon show Captain N: The Game Master.

Regarding his PUBG show, Shankar confirmed to IGN Japan that it will not cross over with any other franchises.Īnother Shankar series currently in production is Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, which is loosely based within Ubisoft’s synthwave-inspired Blood Dragon universe that originally stemmed from the Far Cry series. Shankar’s own Bootleg Universe has mixed a wide variety of renowned franchises (with and without permission) as his personal sandbox multiverse, and when he first announced his DMC series, he said that it would be a part of “Bootleg multiverse”, but gave no further details.

When asked for an update on the progress of that show’s production, he simply replied, “It’s being fast-tracked, lol”. Shankar is also working on an animated series set in the PUBG universe.
This is a case of right place right time, and I’m honored that I got to be a part of this ride.” The fact that Castlevania has generated not only a spin-off but a has essentially sparked an entire vertical of adult oriented animated content for Netflix is insane. “In 2017, when we launched Season 1, it felt like a fight to be noticed or even acknowledged by the mainstream. “Castlevania had a team of people top to bottom who were fans of the IP and wanted animation to be taken seriously as a medium and not just a genre,” said Shankar. He sees this as part of a cultural shift in which the public have demanded more faithful treatment of their favorite franchises, just as the cost of producing video content has fallen and the process has been democratized by digital distribution. In the case of Castlevania, he attributes part of his success to timing, as he feels the market was ripe for authentic adaptations of classic games – and indeed, the success of Castlevania has triggered a landslide in quality game-to-TV adaptations.

When asked how he is able to protect the integrity of the games he adapts for TV, Shankar replied that it requires passion and an open mind, explaining, “Just like there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to adapting a book to a movie and just as there is not one right way to make a cover song, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to adapting, translating, or expanding games into another medium.” Shankar has maintained a fiercely fan-friendly approach across all of his projects to date, and Castlevania has been acclaimed by many (including IGN) as one of the best videogame adaptations of all time. He said then that he had acquired the animation rights for the DMC IP himself, “so that the jabronies in Hollywood can’t f**k this one up too”. The DMC anime was first announced by Shankar during an interview with IGN in November 2018.
Their character library is unlike anything assembled.” "I can also confirm that Chris Pratt won't be voicing any of the characters." “It’s seriously a joy to work with Capcom. “Kobayashi-san has been wonderful,” said Shankar. He has been working directly with Hiroyuki Kobayashi, a veteran producer at Capcom who worked on the original DMC and Resident Evil games, as well as 2007’s DMC Devil May Cry: The Animated Series, produced by Japanese animation studio Madhouse. “The entire team both from the management side and the creative side have been so incredibly supportive and gracious,” he said.
Shankar commented that working with Capcom on this project has been “a dream”. Pratt has recently been cast as the lead in high-profile animated movies based on both Super Mario and Garfield. “I can also confirm that Chris Pratt won’t be voicing any of the characters,” Shankar joked. “I can confirm that Vergil is in it, as well as Lady, and of course Dante as well,” he said. While Shankar would not reveal specific story details, he confirmed that several DMC franchise favorite characters will appear.

Shankar explained that Season 1 will include “eight episodes”, but that the story will not conclude there: Just as with Castlevania, he is planning a “multi-season arc”, meaning that it will unfold over multiple connected seasons. The scripts have been written in collaboration with Alex Larsen, who wrote the screenplay for the feature film Bodied (produced by Shankar and Eminem, among others) and who has more recently written on the Netflix anime series Yasuke.
