And as one would want and expect from a Hellboy movie, there will be plenty of horrific monsters. As an example of the latter, we see Hellboy shooting a guy in the head, and naturally, there's a lot of blood splatter. To be fair, it does look as though the Hellboy is deserving of an R rating through both cursing and gore. It's worth thinking about, although if it's the latter option, that would seem to further move this reboot away from the horror realm, as rather than being initially seen as some frightening beast, the average person might instead have their fear melded with simple curiosity.

Still, emphasizing humor over scares with this footage was an odd move.Īlso, slight digression, but did anyone else find it strange that Hellboy was walking around in broad daylight in the middle of a city and nobody batted an eye? Maybe there's some kind of magic at work that makes Hellboy look normal in front of humans, or maybe this movie takes place in a world where the general population knows about monsters and other magical entities. The character has always been witty in the comics, so David Harbour's version of the character would be depicted similarly, just like how Ron Perlman's version was handled. Just like with the action, there's nothing wrong with having a Hellboy movie with humor. ( Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense) agents shooting at him to being asked for identification after he, Alice Monaghan and Ben Daimio arrive at the B.P.R.D.'s secret headquarter (he's the last person on Earth who needs to break out ID). There's also a lot of lighthearted and humorous moments in the first Hellboy trailer, from the eponymous protagonist freaking out at fellow B.P.R.D.

More importantly, though, it was going to feel more like a horror movie, with co-writer Andrew Cosby saying that Neil Marshall wanted to "walk a razor's edge between horror and comic book movie." Hellboy creator Mike Mignola reiterated that earlier this year, saying: First off, it would be R-rated, thus making it a more adult offering than the PG-13 adventures Ron Perlman starred in. Then we started learning more about how the Hellboy reboot would differentiate itself from the Guillermo del Toro-helmed films. That's fair enough we've seen numerous cinematic versions of Batman, Superman and Spider-Man, so why can't Hellboy join those ranks? Since the numerous attempts to get Hellboy III off the ground over the previous decade all fell through, it was decided to give Big Red a fresh start on the silver screen, this time with Stranger Things star David Harbour wearing the red makeup and The Descent's Neil Marshall directing. RELATED: New Hellboy Photos Offer Best Look Yet at Jovovich's NimueĪrriving April 12, 2019, director Neil Marshall’s Hellboy stars David Harbour as Hellboy, Ian McShane as Trevor Bruttenholm, Milla Jovovich as Nimue, Sasha Lane as Alice Monaghan, Penelope Mitchell as Ganeida and Daniel Dae Kim as Ben Daimio.To wind the clock back a little bit, we first learned that a Hellboy reboot was on the way in May 2017. Mignola has also discussed how Perlman and Harbour's Hellboy portrayals differ. Instead of being bitter and upset over circumstances outside of their control, Perlman and Blair have chosen to remember the good times and according to the comments section on both posts, their portrayals are still considered synonymous with the characters and loved by their fans. Blair also wished the new movie and Harbour the best going forward, but said her heart is still broken over the unfinished business with the franchise. Perlman was a vocal advocate for the completion of the del Toro's Hellboy trilogy, but when negotiations fell short he gave the reboot and the new Hellboy, portrayed by Stranger Things' David Harbour, his blessing and moved on. Doug Jones, who portrayed Abe Sapien in the films, echoed similar sentiments of missing his Hellboy brother and sister alongside the comments from fans on social media. Blair's response shows how much she loved working with Perlman and on the film itself, while his video reminds us of the 20 movies with smooth R&B lyrics, a shirtless Hellboy his love of kittens.
