Hellboy Is Back With The Reboot’s First Trailer

Hellboy Is Back With The Reboot’s First Trailer

Mike Mignola’s Hellboy had a couple of movies in the 2000s, back before the Superhero Movie Boom took over everything. Back then, only two-thirds of all movies were based on comic books, not 94 percent. Seems so long ago. For whatever reason, we never got a third flick with Ron Perlman in the big red suit.

For months, all we’ve known about the Hellboy reboot is that it was supposed to be “grittier” than the previous two movies. Nothing about this trailer suggests that.

I definitely think Hellboy is an antihero. He was kind of born into it. It wasn’t something like Batman where he chooses to go and fight crime. He was just born this weird half-demon spawned by Nazi occultists and saved by these dudes who tried to raise him right,” Harbour said. “For him, it’s a sense of discovery. His actual destiny as a ‘hero’ is to end the world. He is the beast of the apocalypse. So, in a way, his struggle to be
