The film is a fresh take on the comics, unconnected to Guillermo del Toro’s film 2004 film, starring Ron Perlman, and its 2008 sequel.
Stranger Things actor David Harbour takes on the eponymous role this time around, with Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane and Sasha Lane all co-starring.
Neil Marshall, best known for helming the Game of Thrones episodes ”Blackwater” and “The Watchers on the Wall”, directs.
The film sees our hero, a powerful demon employed by the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, attempt to stop an ancient sorceress who seeks to destroy all of mankind, while also having designs on Hellboy himself.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Harbour said of taking on the Hellboy role: “He’s really going through a late adolescence. It comes from this relationship with his father, who on the one hand claims to love him and on the other hand lies to him about certain things and wants him to be this weapon in this world.”
“It’s the fundamental paradox: ‘How are you feeling today, my serial killer of your fellow beings?’ Like wait, you want me to be this brutal machine but then you care how I feel?”
Hellboy will be released in UK cinemas on 11 April.
