While Ron Perlman so effortlessly embodied the Hellboy role in the 2004 and 2008 movies, when a third film in the franchise never materialised, it still didn’t feel like the greatest loss to cinema that we wouldn’t get more of the Right Hand of Doom. When it was announced that reboot was instead in the works, with Neil Marshall slated to direct, David Harbour set to star off the back of his Stranger Things success, and crucially, the film going more adult with an R-rating, suddenly the whole thing started to feel more fresh again. Of course the plot will be retreading old ground – this time an ancient sorceress seeks to destroy all of mankind – with more grit, more gore and a horror vibe that comes to naturally to Marshall’s work, and Milla Jovovich, Sasha Lane and Daniel Dae Kim rounding off an impressive cast, hopefully Red finds a new audience when Hellboy hits threatres April 12th.
