Dante:
Dante is the son of a human woman named Eva, and the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, the demon swordsman who 2000 years ago turned on his own kind and sealed away the demon world from the human world. Half human and half demon, Dante possesses amazing powers and superhuman abilities. He hates demons, as he blames them for taking his mother and brother from him when he was only a child. Presently he makes his living as a mercenary, but Dante won’t just take any "boring" job. He specialises exclusively in the supernatural and the occult, specifically, hunting and killing demons. Dante is a demon slayer.
The film's Dante will be instantly recognisable as the cocky, confident and cool Dante we all know and love from DMC1, which I am sure many of the older fans will be pleased to hear, but he is also mixed with a few of the familiar elements we saw in DMC3 Dante; following the recent death of his demon hunting partner Trish, Dante is once again covering his pain up with attitude. After she died, he changed his shop's name back to "Devil May Cry" and as far as anyone else knows, has resumed business as usual. In the film, Dante will be wearing a new costume which was specially designed by his actor, a blend of his previous costume designs from the games.
Played by: Helio Frazao (Sakster)
Saks is one of the biggest Dante fans you will ever meet, and one of the most popular Dante look-a-likes on DeviantArt.com, having been CGed into his hair many many times over the years. The guy is so well qualified for this part, it's almost crazy. As a military man, Saks has had extensive training in various forms of combat and weaponry: he is comfortable and familiar with all kinds of firearms, and has in-depth real world knowledge of how they work and how to handle them. He also parkours in his free time, (that's free running for those not in the know) and has recently been practicing his acrobatic tricking and flipping skills for the film's stunts and action sequences. Although Portugese, he has been practicing and training his voice for weeks in order to lose his accent and emulate Rueben to the best of his ability, and both he and James have been looking very closely at the game's scenes and action in order to learn their characters' movements and mannerisms.
