The announcement that a new Hellboy film was being made and that Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman wouldn’t be involved wasn’t exactly greeted with open arms by fans. After all, del Toro’s widely considered to have nailed the tone of the comics with Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army, but due to both movies underperforming at the box office numbers, studios refused to issue the green light for a third installment to round out the trilogy. In addition, Ron Perlman was pretty much perfect in the title role, making it difficult to imagine anyone else playing Big Red.
But we don’t have to imagine anymore, as we now have the very first trailer for Lionsgate’s reboot, leaking online one day ahead of the official schedule. And while it will surely prove to split fans down the middle, it certainly has us intrigued, painting a much darker and more violent depiction of the property than we saw with del Toro. Not to mention that David Harbour, taking over for Perlman, appears to be giving a very different portrayal of Hellboy than his predecessor did. You can judge the footage for yourself below.
