From Toronto to Tinseltown: The Cast's Explosive Career Trajectories
The years following the film's release saw the cast transition from rising stars to A-list power players. The influence of the movie's unique visual style and sharp dialogue, courtesy of director Edgar Wright, provided a perfect launchpad for these actors to explore diverse genres.
Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Ramona Flowers)
Michael Cera, who famously underwent extensive martial arts training for the role of Scott, has continued to balance indie darlings with major studio projects. In 2023, he earned significant praise for his supporting role in the blockbuster hit Barbie, playing Allan, a role that perfectly utilized his signature awkward charm. Cera also appeared in the surrealist dark comedy Dream Scenario (2023) alongside Nicolas Cage. Looking ahead to 2025, Cera is pivoting behind the camera, with plans to make his directorial debut on a new feature film project.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, the magnetic Ramona Flowers, has cemented her status as an action and genre star. After roles in Birds of Prey and Gemini Man, she joined the Star Wars universe as Hera Syndulla in the Disney+ series Ahsoka (2023), a role she is expected to continue. In 2024, she starred opposite her husband, Ewan McGregor, in the limited series A Gentleman in Moscow, showcasing her dramatic range.
The Evil Exes and Supporting Cast: A-List Domination
The film’s ensemble nature meant that even the supporting cast members, particularly the Evil Exes, were played by future household names. Their current projects highlight just how much star power was packed into the Scott Pilgrim universe.
Kieran Culkin (Wallace Wells)
Kieran Culkin's career exploded with his Emmy-winning performance as the sharp-tongued Roman Roy in the critically acclaimed HBO series Succession, which concluded in 2023. His portrayal of the youngest Roy sibling earned him a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe, and a SAG Award, making him one of the most decorated actors from the original cast. In 2024, he starred in the buddy comedy film A Real Pain alongside Jesse Eisenberg.
Chris Evans (Lucas Lee)
Chris Evans, who played the arrogant action star Lucas Lee, famously went on to define an era of superhero cinema as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Post-MCU, Evans has focused on a variety of roles, including the mystery film Knives Out. His recent and upcoming projects include the action-comedy film Red One (2024) and the potential for a massive return to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday (2026).
Aubrey Plaza (Julie Powers)
Aubrey Plaza has brilliantly transitioned from her comedic roots in Parks and Recreation to critically lauded dramatic roles. Following her Emmy-nominated performance in The White Lotus, Plaza has a busy 2024/2025 slate. This includes a role in Francis Ford Coppola's epic film Megalopolis and the highly anticipated Marvel series Agatha All Along. She also starred in the 2024 film My Old Ass and is set to star in and produce The Heidi Fleiss Story.
Anna Kendrick (Stacey Pilgrim)
Anna Kendrick, known for the Pitch Perfect franchise and her Oscar-nominated role in Up in the Air, achieved a major career milestone in 2024. She made her directorial debut with the film Woman of the Hour, a true-crime thriller that she also starred in and produced. She also starred in the 2024 Hulu comedy film Self Reliance.
Alison Pill (Kim Pine)
Alison Pill, the deadpan drummer Kim Pine, has maintained a strong presence in television and film. In 2024, she appeared in the films Trap and Young Werther. She is also set to star in M. Night Shyamalan’s next untitled feature film, continuing her work in high-profile projects.
Brandon Routh (Todd Ingram)
Brandon Routh, who played the vegan-powered Todd Ingram, is another actor with deep ties to the superhero genre, having famously played Superman in Superman Returns and Atom in the Arrowverse. His recent work includes the 2024 science fiction horror comedy film Ick, directed by Joseph Kahn.
Jason Schwartzman (Gideon Graves)
The final and most powerful Evil Ex, Gideon Graves, was played by indie darling Jason Schwartzman. He continues his prolific career, often collaborating with director Wes Anderson. In 2024, he starred in the comedy Between the Temples, which premiered at the Berlinale film festival. Fans can also look forward to his voice work as the villain The Spot in the upcoming animated film Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (2027).
The Ultimate Reunion: 'Scott Pilgrim Takes Off'
The most significant and exciting update for fans of the original film is the release of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off on Netflix in late 2023. The animated series, co-created by original graphic novel author Bryan Lee O'Malley and director Edgar Wright, was a massive success, primarily because it achieved the near-impossible: reuniting the ENTIRE original live-action cast to voice their characters.
The return of Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and every single one of the Evil Exes—Chris Evans, Brandon Routh, Jason Schwartzman, and the others—was a testament to the cast’s enthusiasm for the material and the enduring creative vision of O'Malley and Wright. The series offered a fresh, unexpected take on the original story, further solidifying the Scott Pilgrim universe as a beloved cult classic that continues to evolve. This reunion confirms that the chemistry and camaraderie seen on set in Toronto over a decade ago remain strong, making the Scott Pilgrim cast one of the most uniquely successful and close-knit ensembles in Hollywood history.
