Based on the graphic novels by Mike Mignola, Hellboy, caught between the worlds of the supernatural and human, battles an ancient sorceress bent on revenge. The role of Hellboy would ultimately be recast with Stranger Things star David Harbour taking over Ron Perlman’s role for the 2019 reboot. “Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman created this iconic thing that we thought could be reinvented and then certainly - the loudness of the internet was like, ‘We do not want you to touch this.’ People were just very very against it and that’s people’s right.”ĭel Toro is perhaps too busy to tackle “Hellboy 3” at the moment. This new Hellboy is directed by English filmmaker Neil Marshall, director of the films Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday, and Centurion previously, as well as a segment of the anthology film.

Irish actor Brian Gleeson has been cast in Neil Marshalls reboot of Hellboy. “The reboot was something I had the opportunity to participate in and decided that the only version of ‘Hellboy’ I’m interested in is the one I do with Guillermo,” Perlman said at the time. Perlman told CBM in 2020 that he turned down an offer to appear in the 2019 reboot because of his loyalty to del Toro.
