Anung Un Rama’s comeback is closer than ever now that Hellboy: The Crooked Man has finally wrapped filming.

“If fans have been waiting for a Hellboy film that is actually an adaptation of one of my stories I think they are finally going to get one. Congratulations to director Brian Taylor and a really wonderful cast,” wrote Mignola.

“And to co-writer Chris Golden who did so much to figure out how to give the studio what they wanted and still keep true to the heart and soul of THE CROOKED MAN, my favorite of the Hellboy stories. I wish Richard Corben was still around to see this. They did a wonderful job bringing his really horrific character to life.”

Hellboy: The Crooked Man is based on the 2008 comic mini-series of the same name. The new film will see Hellboy – a summoned demon turned reluctant hero – and a rookie agent stranded in 1950s rural Appalachia. There, they discover a small community haunted by witches led by a local devil with a troubling connection to our protagonist’s past.

Jack Kesy (Deadpool 2) will play Hellboy in the new movie. David Harbour and Ron Perlman played the character in previous movie iterations.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man is aiming to be an R-rated movie. It is unclear if the movie will be shown in theatres or will head straight to a streaming service. Nonetheless, with filming completed, fans can sit tight and wait for more details very soon.
