Lionsgate and Millenium Films’ reboot Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen will star David Harbour (“Stranger Things”) as the title character in a darker and more gruesome interpretation than the Guillermo del Toro films. Neil Marshall (The Descent) is directing, and another fan favorite TV actor has just come aboard.
Via THR tonight, “American Gods” star Ian McShane will be starring alongside Harbour in the new film. McShane will play Hellboy’s adoptive father, Professor Broom.
The new story sees the hero squaring off against a medieval sorceress who seeks to destroy humankind.
The film has already been scripted by Andrew Cosby, Christopher Golden, and Mike Mignola, and the plan is to bring it to the screen with an “R” rating. Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin are producing along with Mike Richardson of Dark Horse Entertainment. It is being executive produced by Christa Campbell, Lati Grobman, and Carl Hampe.
Look for Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen in 2018.
