Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: Viral Posters! Scott Caldwell, August 6, 2010August 26, 2010 With the release of the film just a handful of days away, and already a giant Comic-Con buzz surrounding Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, creating a viral campaign honestly was never needed.

Keep reading to see what character is being used to sell the film in movie poster format. As you know, Scott Pilgrim has to defeat the seven evil exes to be with Ramona, and the one that screams viral, is Chris Evans’ (aka, Captain America) character, Lucas Lee. Why?
