Michael and Aubrey Plaza who worked together in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World as Scott Pilgrim and Julie Powers almost became husband and Wife.
Recently speaking to Rolling Stone, Cera talked about how he and his friend for years Aubrey Plaza nearly got married as a joke while filming together for a 2010 romantic action comedy film.
Cera and Plaza were also dating at the time of the filming and although the couple didn’t end up tying the knot.
Michael Cera was asked, “Aubrey Plaza came out fairly recently and revealed that you two were a couple during and after shooting Scott Pilgrim. I know she was brand new to the industry back then, but have you two remained friends? And what’s it been like to see her ascent in stuff like The White Lotus?”
“I mean, she’s always been so committed to everything that she does. It’s not surprising to me that she’s doing really well. The thing that’s surprising to me is how much she’s producing and putting together projects. It’s amazing. Ingrid Goes West? That was so great.” Michael answered.
The host asked if “You two almost got married, right?” Michael said, “Yeah. Well, we were driving through Vegas, and we almost just spontaneously took a detour and got married.”
“Yeah. Like something where you get a certificate. I think the idea was to then get a divorce right away, so we could call each other “my ex-husband” and “my ex-wife” at like … 20.” he concluded.

Cera and Plaza Reunited on Screen for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (2026 Update)
Updated July 2026. That old Rolling Stone story about their near-wedding joke aside, Michael Cera and Aubrey Plaza’s real reunion came later in 2023: both reprised their Scott Pilgrim vs. the World roles for Netflix’s anime miniseries Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, which premiered November 17, 2023. The eight-episode series brought back the entire original film cast, with original director Edgar Wright returning as executive producer and a twist-filled new storyline that follows Ramona Flowers after Scott mysteriously vanishes. It’s the most substantial the two actors’ careers have overlapped again since the 2010 film, and the show was well received for honoring the source comics while still surprising longtime fans.
