If you’re no stranger to Hellboy, then you are in for a hell of a treat. If you’re green to this weird and wonderful franchise, you’re also in for a hell of a ride.
The new trailer for the 2019 reboot of Hellboy is here, and it is on fire. Compared to the previous trailer, this time we’re seeing more of the titular Hellboy, played by Stranger Things alum David Harbour, smashing skulls of the creatures that come from hell with his iconic Right Hand of Doom, jamming to a souped-up epic orchestral rendition of Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water.
And in this trailer, we also get to see more the enigmatic but beautiful ancient sorceress Nimue the Blood Queen, portrayed by Resident Evil and upcoming Monster Hunter star Milla Jovovich.
Joining Harbour and Jovovich are Daniel Dae Kim (Lost), Ian McShane (American Gods), as well as Sasha Lane (American Honeys).
As we’ve learnt before, 2019’s Hellboy, directed by Neil Marshall (Game of Thrones, Hannibal) will be given an R rating, as opposed to the PG-13 rating Guillermo del Toro’s rendition, which debuted in 2004.
Marion has a serious RPG addiction. Sometimes it bleeds into real life; he forgets to sleep because he thinks he has a Witcher’s body clock. Forgive him in advance if he suddenly blurts out terms such as “Mind Flayer” and “Magic Missile”, because never once does he stop thinking about his next Dungeons & Dragons game.
