Edgar Wright’s 2010 film starring Hollywood actor Michael Cera, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, may not have been the biggest box office success, but it has been a fan and critic favorite since its release. Starring an ensemble cast alongside Cera, the movie follows a musician, Scott Pilgrim, who must battle the seven evil exes of his girlfriend, Ramona Flowers. The lead star of the film has shared that he was super excited to work with Edgar Wright and the movie, as he is a big fan of graphic novels.
However, in a recent interview with GQ, the Barbie actor shared that he got a little depressed as the filming wrapped and the cast members of the film slowly started leaving.
Michael Cera Was Sad to Lose the Scott Pilgrim World
The 2010 romantic action comedy Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is considered one of the best films of Michael Cera‘s career. Based on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel, the movie received positive reviews from fans and critics. And the cast of the film is set to come back in an upcoming Netflix adaptation, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
During a recent interview, the lead star of the film recalled working on the 2010 film. Cera shared that he and his co-stars spent a lot of time rehearsing even before the filming started. Although the filming lasted for nine months, he still had fun with his co-stars.
“It was so much fun all the time because we just had the greatest vibe with everybody,” he shared during an interview with GQ. However, it was not easy for him to let go of everything. The Magic Magic actor shared that it felt like it was “[his] world” and things would always remain the same. And the wrap led Cera to feel a “little depressed.”
He further stated, “You get used to that as you get older and as you’re acting for a while, but I was sad to lose it.” The 35-year-old actor claims that if he could have, he would have continued filming the movie. And seems like his wish has come true, as he is set to reprise his role as Scott Pilgrim in the upcoming Netflix adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel.
