Unfortunately, there seems to be no credited input from either Ron Perlman or Guillermo del Toro, who made a splash with the original series, “ Hellboy” in 2004 and “ Hellboy II: The Golden Army” in 2007, back when superhero films were kind of a different breed.

Starring alongside David and Milla is “ American Honey” star Sasha Lane as Hellboy’s sidekick Alice, Ian McShane as Professor Bruttenholm (to match David Harbour’s own gruffness), Daniel Dae Kim as Ben Daimio, and Thomas Haden Church as the peculiarly named Lobster Johnson. This sorceress, Nimue the Blood Queen, is played by Milla Jovovich, who appears to be tapping into the same semi-goth style and villain-y accent as Cate Blanchett’s “ Thor: Ragnarok” villain. What is known so far is still rather scant, though according to IMDb: Hellboy, caught between the worlds of the supernatural and human, battles an ancient sorceress bent on revenge. With the first trailer dropping last December, this new one is still being vague about the story. Twelve years after the successful first two installments, starring Ron Perlman and directed by Guillermo del Toro, the biggest, baddest, and reddest superhero returns in this reboot with David Harbour in the leading role and director Neil Marshall (“ The Descent”) at the helm, making this his first feature film in nine years (after some successful TV directing stints, including some Emmy award nominated work on some epic episodes of “ Game of Thrones”). While we here at Dread Central love Harbour and his work, we were still extremely disappointed to see Hollywood take a turn away from del Toro and his incredible two-film arc.The big red lug is making his big screen return this year, and the second trailer has just been released. However, none of this stopped a Hellboy reboot from happening in 2019 starring Stranger Things phenomenon David Harbour.

This was in part due to busy schedules and sadly, a lack of studio interest. Unfortunately, we never did get to see a third Hellboy film from Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman. They are the perfect hybrid of action, superhero, comedy, and horror … and many of us were praying we’d eventually get to see the apocalyptic third act promised at the end of the second film. The Ron Perlman films, Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army, both earned critical and fan adoration upon release and serious cult followings thereafter. Hellboyfans can tell you, we were all anxiously anticipating a third and final chapter in the Guillermo Del Toro series of films. To support these titles, he sat down with The Independent to talk movies, politics, and a little bit of revisionist history when it comes to Hellboy 3. He stars in two must-see films ( Don’t Look Up and Nightmare Alley). It’s been a big year for big guy Ron Perlman.
