It’s nine years since Guillermo Del Toro and Ron Perlman last brought us a Hellboy movie, with The Golden Army. Since then they’ve both talked about the possibility of a third outing. While it always seemed like an outside bet, it was only a few months ago they Perlman seemed to extinguish all hope.
However, it turns out it’s not Hellboy’s film adventures that are over, just Del Toro and Perlman’s connection to it. The character’s creator, Mike Mignola, revealed on Facebook that the franchise is getting rebooted, with Stranger Things’ sheriff, David Harbour, in talks for the central role, and Neil Marshall (The Descent, Dog Soldiers) in talks to direct.
He’s also promised that the new Hellboy will be an r-rated adventure for the demon who ended up on earth as an infant during World War 2 and was raised by paranormal research scientist. Millennium Films is backing the movie, which may hit cinemas next year.
Although many will be said that Del Toro and Perlman won’t be back, many will pleased that’s not the end of the character’s adventures on the big screen.
