One of the big ideas behind Neil Marshall’s Hellboy was to faithfully bring Mike Mignola’s comic book universe to the screen, and the film is in part inspired by Hellboy: The Wild Hunt, a limited series that came out ten years ago. The comic book faithfulness of the movie’s adaptation of that storyline is highlighted in the latest image from next year’s reboot.
Check out the shot below, side-by-side with a page from the comic book.
David Harbour (“Stranger Things”) stars as our brand new Hellboy.
Also starring: Milla Jovovich as Nimue, the film’s villain; Ian McShane as Professor Broom; Daniel Dae Kim as Major Ben Daimio; Penelope Mitchell as Ganeida; and Sasha Lane as Alice Monaghan with Sophie Okonedo (After Earth), Brian Gleeson (mother!) and Alistair Petrie (The Night Manager, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story).
The new story sees the hero squaring off against a medieval sorceress who seeks to destroy humankind.
Aron Coleite worked on the latest draft of a script by Andrew Cosby, Christopher Golden and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin and Mike Richardson are the producers. Hellboy is being exec produced by Christa Campbell, Lati Grobman, and Carl Hampe.
Hellboy returns on April 12, 2019.
