I had this weird idea but i think there is a way to make films on both parts of the canon.
You do the first film on DMC3 and you do the sequel on the reboot.
Wait for it.
the thing is the reboot is more able to work as a sequel since it feels more like a adventure that could have happened after 3
You present it as dante working on a routine job near limbo city only for him to have discovered the big secret and limbo overpowers him and captures him. The film starts with lady breaking him out of jail and they decide to fight back guerilla style. The changes in clothing are explained as lady getting him more of a normal outfit to blend in. The changes in hair is lady dyeing his hair black and cutting it to make them hide better from human authorities.
The reveal that he might be half angel might be dropped or revealed as him tappping into the powers by accident because he didnt know he had them. He didnt know his mom was an angel since she gave up her angel hood to be with sparda on earth.
The changes in appearance outside of her might not exist as we are probably use the same actor from the first.
