Does Sparda represent old Dante in DmC?

[DragonMaster2010]

I was looking back at that portrait of Sparda, and something clicked into my mind. What if this Sparda is suppose to represent old Dante?

both wear red long outfits, and both (presumably) have white hair. Both hold Rebellion also.

To me, it feels like NT is doing what ThunderCats did. Cast the old lion-O voice to be the dad of the new lion-O. Hell, if Sparda speaks, I wouldn't be suprised if we hear Reuben Langdoon's voice.

nice theory. be cool to see sparda in this game.

 

[V's patron]

he might have been designed that way as a shout-out to the old series and it makes more sense for Sparda to be dressed in 18th century dinner wear than Dante or vergil.

^More like a reference for the DMC games.

Gottah admit. That be pretty sweet, but highly unlikely.

 

[scionicspectre]

Yeeaaaahh, uh... nope.

 

[ReverseSuperman]

Seems like a stretch, but I like the case you made.

 

[darkslayer13]

Interesting theory but very unlikely.

That would be really interesting and super-meta. But I doubt NT would go for it.
