It seems that White Rabbit, a character first introduced in the <em>Devil May Cry 3<\/em> manga, is the main antagonist of the show, something that was hinted at in previous trailers but not officially revealed. It also seems like the White Rabbit may, at least briefly, be in possession of Dante\u2019s Perfect Amulet, and the trailer also includes a Vergil reveal, which should give Dante plenty to contend with through the show\u2019s eight episode first season. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Devil May Cry<\/em> will arrive on Netflix on April 3. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/trailer\/538114\/devil-may-cry-trailer-release-announcement\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix\u2019s Devil May Cry series is less than a month away, and if the new trailer is any indication, it\u2019s certainly set to live up to the spirit of the video games.
