Topic: Netflix Castlevania Animation: Cast Revealed

Shankar has just announced on Anime Expo that the second season drops in October 26th.

There was also a Season 2 teaser, but everyone not on the event got (expectedly) bamboozled via stream and saw nothing.

EDIT: Teaser has leaked. I'm pretty sure that you can see Grant in it this time. Including him being transformed into a monster.

EDIT: I think I also spotted Olrox.

Bald Hector? Do you want to see people riot, dude?

Could be a forgemaster (even Hector, who knows what their plans are), could be also Zead! Buncha bald dudes to go with

Some people are thinking Olrox too... I wonder...

[Shiroi Koumori]

I think Olrox is a better candidate for bald guy, since they went with the SOTN route with Lisa, blond Alucard, etc.
Or if they want the COD route, Zead is a better option than Hector. Thou shalt not mess with Hector's mane! LOL

As the dude says in the video: HOLY FACK.

I would have no problem with them changing Hector or Isaac's looks, or even just an original devil forgemaster not seen in the games.  As I said before season 1 released this is an adaptation of the NES game, any details that point to or reference wider aspects of the series is very much appreciated.

Though if it is Olrox, I really hope they don't go with the mistranslation.  That's the one that bugs me more than any in the series.  And I would hope he would look more like the classic Orlok, but just like I said above, any references to the wider series is a plus.

And while it seems clear that the vampire killer is not as presented in Lament of Innocence, I hope they don't make up some other progenitor of the Belmont clan.  Either leave it a mystery, or just name drop Leon.

I'm voting that the bald guy might be Zead/Death.  Having Isaac and Hector pop up in the background before Hector turns his back on Dracula would be awesome to see, and might be nice lead in to season 3.  The trailer and the preview photos are gorgeous, I love that small touch of the SotN save data symbol thing.
  I'm wondering, based on the tiny clips, that using Alucard's alchemical knowledge, works together with Sypha and Trevor for Trevor to forge the new chain whip.  That might be some of the working together stuf mentioned previously?

I'll quote what I said a while ago:

I'll launch a crazy hypothesis: Trevor will get to battle some foe (maybe even Dracula himself) and fail to hurt him, then escape to survive. This will prompt him to seek the upgrade. It makes no narrative sense for him to attain this upgrade if he doesn't know that the standard leather whip does not hurt something that he's seeking to fight back (or maybe it does and I'm just failing to see it, but I'll stand by my hypothesis for now).

Sypha burning her own feet is cute af

Should we be expecting something more today?  Maybe an official release of the leaked teaser?

They never confirmed anything. The tweet powerhouse posted is probably referring to the release date sadly...

July 7th marks the 1 YEAR Anniversary of #Castlevania on @Netflix! We'll be celebrating with a… BIG announcement coming later this week!
