Speaking to Tudum by Netflix, BenDavid explained that Michael was beyond pumped about the project.

“We really appreciated Michael Cera’s enthusiasm for this new take on the story. He thought our ideas and our scripts were even funnier than we did,” he recalled.

That enthusiasm was contagious: “Once Michael read it, he became a cheerleader for the rest of the cast. I think his enthusiasm went a long way for us,” Bryan Lee O’Malley, who wrote the hit comics the movie is based on, agreed.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off also stars Chris Evans, Brie Larson, Aubrey Plaza and so many other fan-favorite actors.
