Star-Studded Cast and Characters
The new Hellboy 2019 movie stars David Harbour, Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Daniel Dae Kim, and Sasha Lane. David Harbour, known for his role in “Stranger Things,” takes on the titular role of Hellboy. Milla Jovovich, famous for her work in the “Resident Evil” series, plays the ancient sorceress Nimue, the Blood Queen, who is bent on revenge. Ian McShane, a veteran actor known for “Deadwood” and “American Gods,” portrays Professor Bruttenholm, Hellboy’s adoptive father. Daniel Dae Kim, from “Lost” and “Hawaii Five-0,” plays Ben Daimio, a military member of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.), and Sasha Lane, known for “American Honey,” plays Alice Monaghan, a woman with a deep connection to the fairy world.
Once again based on the graphic novels by Mike Mignola, Hellboy is caught between the worlds of the supernatural and human. In this reboot, he battles an ancient sorceress bent on revenge. The storyline promises to delve deeper into Hellboy’s origins and his struggle with his dual identity. Check out the first trailer below to learn more about what you can expect from the Hellboy movie.
Production and Development
The project began as a sequel to “Hellboy II: The Golden Army,” with Mike Mignola and Andrew Cosby writing the script. Initially, Guillermo del Toro, who directed the first two Hellboy films, was not offered the full writer-director capacity he had performed in the previous movies. Consequently, Ron Perlman, who played Hellboy in the original films, refused to return without del Toro’s involvement. This led to the project being reimagined as an R-rated reboot after Neil Marshall was hired as the director and David Harbour was cast as Hellboy.
Neil Marshall, known for his work on “The Descent” and several episodes of “Game of Thrones,” brings a darker and more horror-centric vision to the Hellboy universe. The decision to make the film R-rated allows for a grittier and more faithful adaptation of the graphic novels, which are known for their mature themes and intense action sequences. Fans of the original comics can expect a more authentic representation of Hellboy’s world, complete with the dark humor and complex characters that have made the series a cult favorite.
In addition to the main cast, the film features a talented supporting ensemble, including Thomas Haden Church as Lobster Johnson, a vigilante hero from the 1930s, and Brian Gleeson as Merlin, the legendary wizard. The inclusion of these characters hints at a rich and expansive storyline that will explore various mythological and supernatural elements.
The Hellboy reboot aims to capture the essence of Mike Mignola’s original vision while introducing the character to a new generation of fans. With its blend of action, horror, and dark fantasy, the film promises to be a thrilling ride for both longtime followers of the series and newcomers alike.
