New HELLBOY Image + David Harbour Explains Why His Character is Different Than Ron Perlman’s Hellboy
I’ll admit it: I was pissed when I first heard that Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman had been divorced from the Hellboy franchise, and that the mantle was being passed to Neil Marshall with David Harbour in the lead role. Since then, some objectively stunning artwork and a kick-ass trailer has me feeling less critical. Knowing that the film is rated R for extreme violence makes me giddy!

Yesterday, Empire released a new image from Marshall’s Hellboy, slated to hit US theaters on April 12th. It was part of an interview with Harbour, where he discussed what makes his Hellboy different from Perlman’s portrayal:
“[Perlman] does something quite extraordinary in those [Hellboy] films [directed by del Toro] that is very specific to him, and I did not want to imitate that in any way. In our movie Hellboy’s younger. He’s rougher. He’s much more of a teenager. He’s really struggling with the idea of whether or not he’s a good person.”
In addition to Harbour, Hellboy stars Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, and Daniel Dae Kim. Check out the trailer and synopsis below.
Synopsis:
Based on the graphic novels by Mike Mignola, Hellboy, caught between the worlds of the supernatural and human, battles an ancient sorceress bent on revenge.
