Devil May Cry needs to use Sparda's legend as a base and focus on the character of Dante. Trish needs to be in there once again as a double agent for demons like DMC1, but dare I say Mundus shouldn't be the antagonist in the first film. Need someone or something smaller scale.
Emphasis on action, but with a sense of slapstick. Dante needs to be the only guy seemingly not taking the situation seriously. It would be interesting on screen for the guy who treats the situation 'like a game' to also be the only one capable of facing the threat.
Our writers will want to, but I'd strongly suggest avoiding the temptation of making Dante angsty about his dual lineage. He doesn't sit and brood about being a half demon, no more than people brood about being half Irish or whatever. That major detail should be something else Dante is nonchalant about until later in the film.
I can go on all day about translating DMC on screen for a broad audience. Don't have a director in mind, though.
