One of the most notable things about Mike Mignola’s Hellboy (and B.P.R.D.) books is that, despite the fact that they star a big, gun-toting, cigar-chomping ass kicker and his various superpowered friends, they never feel much like superhero books. That’s mostly on account of the forces that Hellboy and his teammates…
Neil Marshall’s R-rated Hellboy reboot was originally slated to hit theaters in January of 2019.

Summit Entertainment says…
News about cinematic reboots tends to follow a pretty standard path:
Welcome to Random Roles, wherein we talk to actors about the characters who defined their careers. The catch: They don’t know beforehand what roles we’ll ask them to talk about.
Given his connection to mythology and the supernatural, it’s surprising that Hellboy doesn’t have more Christmas stories. The celebration has pagan roots and an expansive folklore that changes from country to country, providing plenty of material for Mike Mignola to explore with his signature character. As with 1997’s…
It’s been nearly a decade since Mike Mignola’s cigar-chomping, demon-smashing hero Hellboy last showed up in theaters, courtesy of Guillermo Del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

Development continues apace for Neil Marshall’s Hellboy reboot, which stars David Harbour as the (new) Son of The Fallen One. The Stranger Things actor has replaced Ron Perlman, who played Hellboy in two films directed by Guillermo Del Toro. The two frequent collaborators tweeted with all their might to will a third…
Ron Perlman has some fairly iconic roles in his credits, on both the small and big screens. For years, he played the shaggier half of TV’s Beauty And The Beast, as well as Clay Morrow, the Claudius-inspired character on Kurt Sutter’s Sons Of Anarchy. The actor, who recently joined the cast of Crackle’s StartUp, is…
We’ve been told that Neil Marshall’s Hellboy reboot will be R-rated, full of practical effects, and also more dark and more gruesome than Guillermo Del Toro’s Hellboy movies, but we haven’t actually seen anything from it yet to back up those claims. Now, though, Hellboy creator Mike Mignola has shared the first look…
In a perfect convergence of two separate news events from this summer, former Hawaii Five-O star Daniel Dae Kim is in talks to replace Ed Skrein in the Hellboy reboot. Kim, who is Korean-American, left CBS’ Hawaii Five-O back in July along with co-star Grace Park because the network wouldn’t pay them the same amount…
Recently, Deadpool villain Ed Skrein signed on to the Hellboy reboot as Major Ben Daimio, a character from the Hellboy comics who happens to be half-Japanese.

Jovovich will play opposite David Harbour as Hellboy himself, and Ian McShane as his…
Somebody get Patton Oswalt on the phone, because it looks like his wine-aided peace talks among Hellboys past and present didn’t quite take. The actor-comedian recently appeared to have settled any hash between original Anung Un Rama portrayer Ron Perlman and newly-cast Hellboy David Harbour. There’s no real bad blood…
Ian McShane is about to take a swing back on the “Good Mentor/Evil Mentor” pendulum that pretty much defines his career these days; per The Hollywood Reporter, the American Gods star has signed on for Nate Marshall’s upcoming Hellboy reboot, playing the kindly father figure to David Harbour’s red-skinned,…
Guillermo Del Toro’s two Hellboy movies weren’t exactly Phantom Menace-style showcases for the latest advancements in CG technology, but Hellboy reboot director Neil Marshall is still making it a point to reassure fans that his movie will have plenty of old-school practical effects. Marshall offered that tidbit on a…
The world is a dark and scary place, but at least there’s one bright spot we can all latch onto: Tonight, there is peace among Hellboys.

Original Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is also on board with the reboot,…
We might actually be getting a third Hellboy movie, but in a twisted devil’s bargain that seems appropriate for this series, the news comes with a big caveat. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Millennium is currently negotiating with producers Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin about rebooting the Hellboy series, but the…
Doug Jones’ acting career spans three decades and multiple species; the one-time contortionist has put his gangly frame to good use in sci-fi, fantasy, and horror films like Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy, and The Bye Bye Man.
