Is Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Considered Canon?

As for how Bryan Lee O'Malley himself reacted to the cast's agreement to return and reprise their roles, it would seem that he was pretty impressed with the eagerness that the stars of "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" had to return to reprise their roles for "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off," despite many of them having since become household names.

"The day we sent out the email to everyone asking if they would consider doing the show, we got so many responses within an hour," O'Malley recalled. "It was beautiful." Considering that this is a cast that counts Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, and Brie Larson among its many stars, it was indeed no mean feat to reunite them all.

"I sound like a proud father or something, but it's true that different people blowing up or branching out in different ways is amazing to me," Edgar Wright said."I do think: What an incredible cast." Though the original film failed to meet box office expectations, fans might even be able to look forward to future stories centering on the characters, and they can probably rest assured that it'll all be canon.
