Earlier this week, Netflix pulled back the curtain on its 2025 slate, which includes the previously announced Devil May Cry adaptation. Along with a premiere date of April 3, we got a look at the show\u2019s opening credits, and they\u2019re a riot. What makes them so good? The song, naturally.<\/p>\n
Of all the tunes to open a Devil May Cry show, Limp Bizkit\u2019s 2000 single \u201cRollin’\u201d is not the one anybody probably would\u2019ve ever guessed. If anything, this is the best song that could\u2019ve been picked, and not just because \u201cRollin’\u201d and Devil May Cry 3, whose manga the show seems to be taking some plot elements from, respectively turn 25 and 20 this year. From its multiple protagonists to the music that blares as Dante, Nero, and whoever else slice up demons with their comically large weapons, DMC is a series built on stupid swagger and feeling like the coolest kid in the room. It\u2019s truly a product of the 2000s, which also goes for Limp Bizkit as it got to be featured in the first Fast & Furious and Mission: Impossible 2.<\/p>\n
If the Devil May Cry\u2019s intro is giving you any nostalgia for the guilty pleasure bands of your youth, that\u2019s part of the point. Executive producer Adi Shankar revealed the show is set in his memory of a \u201clate \u201990s\/early 2000s PS2 era\u201d of the world rather than present day. Since it\u2019s a throwback, the allegedly kickass soundtrack will have a mix then-current hits and classic DMC songs reimagined by electronic band Power Glove. And if the show gets to continue, Shankar said future seasons will have their own unique feels (similar to how the games do), and change up their intro songs and sequences. This current intro shows the series will have a little bit of everything: not only do the swords Yamato and Red Queen\u2014respectively owned by Dante\u2019s twin brother Vergil and his nephew Nero\u2014feature prominently at the start, later sequences hint at the inclusion of several game villains like original big bad Mundus and the Order from DMC 4, plus Lady, an ally of Dante\u2019s who first showed in DMC 3.<\/p>\n
How much of this is actually in the season versus planting seeds for what Shanker hopes is an ongoing hit? We\u2019ll find out when Devil May Cry hits Netflix on April 3.<\/p>\n
