Last year's "Hellboy: The Crooked Man" seemed like a new low for the demonic hero. Shot for a low $20 million budget with little known actors, the movie's trailers suggested even the film's meager funds had been stretched thin. The dull as dishwater color grading was especially disappointing for a movie adapting comics known for their striking art. "The Crooked Man" ultimately skipped a theatrical release in the United States, going straight to VOD on October 8, 2024.

It seemed like that would be the ignominious end of the "Hellboy" films for a while — or maybe not, because Hulu viewers are coming to Big Red's rescue. According to FlixPatrol, "Hellboy: The Crooked Man" debuted at #1 on the platform stateside on March 10, 2025, and stayed there before dropping to #4 as of March 13.

Directed by Brian Taylor, "Hellboy: The Crooked Man" was co-written by its director,...

The latest feature film adaptation of Hellboyis about to have a new streaming home.

Per Hulu, 2024's Hellboy: The Crooked Man is slated to become the latest addition to the streaming platform's library of films and television shows. Hellboy: The Crooked Man will be available for streaming on Hulu beginning March 7.

One of American Horror Story's most beloved original stars makes it perfectly clear that she isn't heading back to the hit series - ever.

The Hellboy franchise and character of the same name were created by industry legend Mike Mignola, who introduced the world of Hellboy and the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense back in 1993's San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2. Over the years since, Hellboy has become a pop culture phenomenon unto itself, with countless comics and pieces of tie-in merchandise to its name. The...

Following its straight-to-digital release last month, Hellboy: The Crooked Man will hit Blu-ray and DVD on December 17 via Ketchup Entertainment.

No special features are included with the reboot.

Based on the 2008 comic mini-series, Brian Taylor (Crank, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance) directs from a script he co-wrote with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden.

Jack Kesy (Deadpool 2) stars as Hellboy alongside Jefferson White, Adeline Rudolph, Leah McNamara, Joseph Marcell, Hannah Margetson, and Martin Bassindale.

Daniel Kurland wrote in his review of Hellboy: The Crooked Man, “Despite an evocative atmosphere and a rewarding embrace of folk horror, Brian Taylor’s take on the big, red paranormal detective feels creatively lost in limbo.”

In the brand new Hellboy movie, “Hellboy and rookie Bprd agent Song find themselves stranded in 1950s Appalachia, where they discover a community of witches led by a sinister evil called The Crooked Man, with mysterious ties to Hellboy’s past.

Exclusive: Will Atlas has joined More/Medavoy Management. He will work as a manager representing writers, directors, and actors.

For the past three years, Atlas was at upstart talent agency Hyperion which recently closed down, with founder Ryan Bartlett and agents Austin Leshay and Atlas all landing new jobs. Bartlett is at Independent Artist Group; Leshay at Buchwald.

At Hyperion, Atlas did stints as a talent and lit agent, working with such clients as Shailene Woodley, Xochitl Gomez, Ashton Sanders, Natasha Behnam, Isidora Goreshter, Spence Moore II, Leah McNamara, Allen Maldonado, and Jake Horowitz.

Prior to joining Hyperion, Atlas worked as an assistant or coordinator for producers Jeff Robinov (Studio 8) and Arnon Milchan (New Regency), the film sales & finance group at CAA and film acquisitions at Relativity Media.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Will Atlas to our team – we’re adding both talent and heart,” partner Brian Medavoy said.

Mike Mignola’s award-winning comic franchise “Hellboy” has been adapted into four motion pictures now, and this may be a controversial statement, but there’s never been a bad one. Guillermo del Toro’s “Hellboy” movies were ambitious and beautiful, especially “The Golden Army,” which ranks among his finest works. Neil Marshall’s “Hellboy” reboot stripped away the classiness and focused instead on the series’ freewheeling wildness, an unfocused but enjoyably weird adaptation. It isn’t popular but that doesn’t make it bad. Give it time. It’ll find its audience.

The new reboot, Brian Taylor’s “Hellboy: The Crooked Man,” will need more than time to find its fanbase. The cheapest entry in the series (by a wide margin) was released in Europe to little fanfare a month ago, then dumped on VOD in the United States this week when nobody was looking. No press screenings, no screeners,...

While you wait for Terrifier 3 to bring Art the Clown and his over-the-top mayhem back to theaters on October 11, seven other brand new horror movies have released at home today.

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.

Tim Burton and Michael Keaton reunite for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and the long-awaited sequel is now available on Digital at home after releasing in theaters last month.

Despite an evocative atmosphere and a rewarding embrace of folk horror, Brian Taylor’s take on the big, red paranormal detective feels creatively lost in limbo.

Hellboy is a promising property that’s periodically stumbled with its live-action adaptations. There’s such a rich world to pull from here that brilliantly mashes together Lovecraftian horror, pulp detective fiction, superhero storytelling, and sprawling adventures. At the same time, it takes a delicate hand to properly bring all these elements together into something that’s not only coherent, but entertaining. Hellboy’s cinematic offerings continue to mutate and hold a mirror up to changing pop culture trends. Hellboy versus witches in a haunted house, from the director of Crank and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, should be an easy home run. This is exactly why it’s so frustrating that Hellboy: The Crooked Man is such a generic and forgettable experience — as an action film,...

The verdict on the latest attempt at bringing Hellboy into live-action, Hellboy: The Crooked Man, is in. And while it may not have resulted in the worst effort so far, fans of the character and the comic are likely to be disappointed nonetheless, as Hellboy: The Crooked Man has achieved a rating of just 29% on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.

This puts it in the penultimate position in the franchise, with 2019s Hellboy starring David Harbour infamously standing at just 17% on the Tomatometer. Both The Crooked Man and the 2019 outing fall well below the movies made by Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, whose first movie stands at a certified fresh 81%, while the sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, fares even better at 86%.

The criticisms leveled at Hellboy: The Crooked Man begin with Leslie Felperin of The Guardian, who gives the movie just 2/5 and slams the script and the cast.

Made before the current super hero cycle reached sickening saturation, Guillermo del Toro’s two films Hellboy in 2004 and Hellboy II: The Golden Army in 2008 introduced the world to Mike Mignola’s half demon anti-hero that first appeared way back in Dark Horse Comics in the 90’s.

Starring the perfectly cast Ron Perlman the movies blended del Toro’s eye for horror with equal parts of action and felt fresh and exciting at a time when comic book movies were still very hit and miss.

Never completing their intended trilogy, both Perlman and del Toro left the character behind when the production company upset them both. It wasn’t until 2019 that Hellboy returned, this time with David Harbour in the big red suit with Neil Marshall at the helm.

Seemingly the ideal man to take over the blood drenched reigns and drag the character into darker less family friendly realms,...

It is now known when Hellboy: The Crooked Man will arrive in the United States. However, fans of the character won't be able to see the newest Hellboy reboot on the big screen.

Per IGN, it has been announced that Hellboy: The Crooked Man is skipping a theatrical release domestically. It will be heading straight to Digital with a release on Oct. 8, 2024, for $19.99 with a two-week window on platforms including Amazon and Fandango. The movie will later debut on VOD for $6.99 on Oct. 22. It wasn't the same situation in the UK, where the movie started screening in cinemas on Sept. 27.

Acclaimed Hellboy creator Mike Mignola reflects on his frustrations with Guillermo del Toro and Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

In the new Hellboy reboot, Jack Kesy plays the titular character, following previous portrayals by Ron Perlman and David Harbour.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man's unconventional release has seen it arrive in a seemingly random list of countries around the world; in the U.S., it's bypassing theaters altogether and will instead head straight to Digital platforms early next month.

The movie was reportedly made for a relatively small sum, meaning there's at least a chance it turns a profit. Will that be anywhere near enough to warrant a sequel? Seeing as it's skipping theaters and isn't receiving overly positive reviews, we're not banking on it.

Apparently, neither are the movie's producers. We're used to comic book movies having some extra at the very end to set up future stories but can confirm today that Hellboy: The Crooked Man does not feature any post-credits scenes.

In fact, there's nothing - not even a "Hellboy will return" - to suggest there are plans in place for Big Red moving forward. Then again,...

With Hellboy: The Crooked Man randomly showing up in theaters across the world (it arrived in the UK today), fans of Big Red in North America have been wondering when they'll get to watch the movie.

Reviews haven't been great but this unconventional release has done little to generate buzz or discussion about a reboot which, at least based on what we've seen, is miles ahead of 2019's disappointing effort starring David Harbour.

Well, IGN has just dropped a spooky new clip from Hellboy: The Crooked Man and confirmed that, yes, the movie is skipping a theatrical release in the U.S. in favour of a Digital debut.

According to the site, the plan is for it to debut on October 8 for $19.99 as a two-week exclusive to "all electronic sell-through partners" (meaning platforms like Amazon and Fandango). Then, it hits VOD on October 22 for the low, low price of $6.99.

A boring nemesis in a top hat bops around cackling while a wan Hellboy is enlisted to save a local man’s sweetheart in this inexplicable successor

Fans of comic books, 00s horror and Guillermo del Toro will recall the latter’s crack at launching a mass-market franchise with Hellboy in 2004, a peppy blend of pulp genre thrills, wisecracks and old-school effects with a very del Torovian occult-vibe. The casting in the title role of Ron Perlman as the half-demon/half-human shorn-horned, red-skinned, wisecracking, cigar-smoking good guy, along with Selma Blair as his pale but decidedly interesting sidekick/love interest Liz, is what made the first film, and to a lesser degree its successor Hellboy II: The Golden Army, sing. But the unholy mess of a reboot from 2019, this time with a not-unlikeable David Harbour in the massive Right Hand of Doom glove, barely made coin, which makes this even lower-budgeted successor somewhat inexplicable.

Is the third time the charm? The latest Hellboy reboot, Hellboy: The Crooked Man, is all set to debut in the United Kingdom tomorrow (it has already debuted in some other international markets) and the first reviews have now begun to trickle through. So, was this years Hellboy effort worth another reboot? Lets find out.

Dan Jolin of Empire sadly did not think so, awarding the comic book outing a lackluster 2/5 and likening the movie to a lost pilot for a 90s monster-of-the-week TV show that never made it to air. Though they did praise The Crooked Man for achieving what it does with lesser budget.

Valiant though this low-budget attempt to reclaim Hellboy may be, it sadly lacks the storytelling and stylistic savvy to rise above its all-too-obvious budgetary limitations.

Thankfully, things pick up courtesy of Jamie Graham of Games Radar+, who gives Hellboy: The Crooked Man a 3/5 and...

The latest Hellboy film, titled “Hellboy: The Crooked Man,” will debut on Video on Demand platforms in the United States on October 7, according to its producers. Directed by Brian Taylor, the movie follows Hellboy and a rookie Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense agent as they investigate a community of witches in 1950s Appalachia.

Jack Kesy takes on the role of Hellboy, previously played by Ron Perlman and David Harbour. He stars alongside Jefferson White, Adeline Rudolph, Joseph Marcell, Leah McNamara, and Hannah Margetson. Christopher Golden, Mike Mignola, and Brian Taylor collaborated on the screenplay. Mignola created the original Hellboy comic books.

While American audiences will be able to watch it at home, the movie will show for one week starting September 27 in select UK theaters. Production finished in May after beginning earlier in 2023 in Bulgaria. A quick production schedule may aim to attract interest following the poorly received 2019 reboot.

Ketchup Entertainment’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man hits the reboot button on the comic book franchise, with Jack Kesy (12 Strong) taking over the title role this time around.

When will you be able to watch it? According to pre-order listings on outlets including Amazon, Hellboy: The Crooked Man debuts direct-to-digital at home on October 8, 2024.

You can digitally pre-order the new movie for $19.99 on Amazon right now.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man is “set in the 1950s and costars Adeline Rudolph (Resident Evil) as a rookie agent of the Bprd who teams up with Hellboy to protect the residents of Appalachia from the creepy Crooked Man, who is collecting souls for the devil.”

The latest attempt to reboot the Hellboy franchise, Hellboy: The Crooked Man, finally gets a U.S. release date. But it might not be quite what you were expecting. Rather than debuting in theaters as it will in the U.K. later this week, the comic book movie reboot will instead seemingly go straight to video on demand (VOD) in the United States, with the likes of Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, and others now revealing that Hellboy: The Crooked Man will be available to rent or buy from October 07, 2024 9:00 Pm Pdt. No domestic theatrical release date has been announced.

This will no doubt come as a surprise, and a disappointment, to fans of the franchise, who were no doubt hoping to see Big Red take care of business once again on the big screen. Directed by Brian Taylor, from a screenplay by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden, the reboot...

Hellboy: The Crooked Man has had a highly unconventional release, arriving in a handful of counties across the globe before hitting UK cinemas this Friday.

While the movie was never particularly highly anticipated, we'd expected some sort of theatrical release as, with a lower budget, it's possible enough fans would have turned out to make Brian Taylor's reboot a moderate hit.

Instead, it seems the movie may have failed to find a distributor in the U.S. as various VOD platforms are now showing Hellboy: The Crooked Man as being available for pre-order with a Tuesday, October 8 release.

That means it will go up at 12am Et on the 8th but at 9pm Pt on October 7. A limited theatrical release is still possible but, as we expected, this movie is largely bypassing the big screen and going straight to Digital (which is the equivalent these days to a direct-to-dvd...

There doesn't appear to be an "official" review embargo in place for Hellboy: The Crooked Man, but with the movie being released at different times across the globe (we're still not 100% sure when it arrives in the U.S.), the first wave of reviews has just hit.

They're mixed, yes, but tend to be more positive than negative...so far at least, anyway! A lot of outlets still need to weigh in and we're a long way off from getting a Rotten Tomatoes score but it sounds like we should at least consider giving Brian Taylor's take on Big Red a chance.

We'll start with the worst review of the bunch from The Hollywood Handle; in a 1.5*/5* review, the site says Hellboy: The Crooked Man "initially gives the impression, through its first act and part of the second, that it knows its place and embraces its trashy style. However,...

Hellboy's Mike Mignola recently reflected on the film franchise spawned by his creation, revealing his frustrations with Hellboy II: The Golden Army. The acclaimed Hellboy creator stated he was "unhappy with the movie" and that the three months he spent collaborating with Guillermo del Toro "didn't really impact" the 2008 sequel.

In an interview with Screen Rant for his upcoming documentary Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters, Mignola discussed his experience working on The Golden Army and his dislike for the film. "I like being left alone to produce work that I can control. The experience I had on the second movie, I spent three months working on (The Golden Army), and it didn't really impact that film very much at all," he said.

Total Film has shared a new poster for Hellboy: The Crooked Man, giving us another look at Jack Kesy's take on the fan-favourite demonic hero.

Kesy is the third actor to play the title character in live-action, following Ron Perlman and David Harbour.

Helmed by Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and Crank co-director Brian Taylor and starring, the trailers make it very clear that this latest Hellboy movie will lean more into the comic's horror elements than previous adaptations.

The 3-issue Crooked Man miniseries was a period adventure set in 1956 which saw Big Red attempt to retrieve a man named Tom's soul from a powerful demon deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. Though this movie may make a few changes, the trailers suggest that it's going to stick pretty close to the source material.

Ketchup Entertainment’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man once again takes the franchise in a new direction, with Jack Kesy (12 Strong) taking over the title role this time around.

Oddly enough, however, the film’s official UK poster refers to Hellboy: The Crooked Man as “the fourth installment in the global franchise.” Technically true, of course, but usually a franchise reboot of this sort isn’t labeled that way. In any event, check out the UK art below.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man has finally received a release date. A new post for the upcoming reboot has revealed when the movie will be hitting theaters... in the United Kingdom.

Unfortunately for Hellboy fans in the United States, The Crooked Man is still without a theatrical release date. However, there's a good chance that the movie may also end up releasing in the States on or around Sept. 27, 2024, although that remains purely speculative at this time. The new poster for The Crooked Man, shared by Total Film on X, shows Jack Kesy's Hellboy with his gun drawn and looking to his side where the titular Crooked Man is shown lurking among the trees. "Witness the beginning of all evil," reads the tagline on the poster.

Mike Mignola's iconic comic book hero is coming back to the big screen with Hellboy: The Crooked Man. The Dark Horse Comics series centered on the titular half-demon was first adapted for live-action with Guillermo del Toro's eponymous 2004 movie, which scored largely positive reviews and was a modest box office hit. This, in turn, spawned a media franchise, including a direct sequel again helmed by del Toro, two animated movies featuring Ron Perlman reprising his role, and a 2019 Hellboy reboot led by David Harbour, which was poorly received and bombed at the box office.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man serves as the second reboot of the franchise, adapting the titular limited comic book series more directly. The story finds Hellboy and rookie Bprd agent, Bobbie Jo Song, as they become stranded in Appalachia in the 1950s following a train crash. Along the way,...

Hellboy: The Crooked Man's second trailer helped change a lot of minds and, while there's still not a huge amount of buzz surrounding the reboot, it at least feels like there's a chance it will surprise fans.

Weirdly, no release date has been announced for the movie but the cat might be out of the bag courtesy of an international distributor. They say the movie is heading to Indian theaters on Friday, September 13.

PVR Inox Pictures is "the largest independent distributor of foreign language films in India," and if it's being released there as soon as next month, we have to believe this date will apply to other international locations as well (though August 30 is another date we've seen floating around online).

We'd say it's likely that, despite releasing in theaters overseas, Hellboy: The Crooked Man is getting a Digital release in the U.S. and may skip the big screen altogether.

The buzz surrounding Hellboy: The Crooked Man was initially very negative; however, it feels like the tide has started to change, particularly with it now clear that it's meant as a low-budget horror tale rather than a major superhero blockbuster.

Today, we have some new images of Jack Kesy's Big Red to share with you and it's fair to say the character looks vastly more impressive here than in those early sneak peeks.

Speaking of which, these promo photos seemingly confirm that we're getting a new trailer on August 30. Hellboy: The Crooked Man still doesn't have a confirmed release date but we'd imagine the idea is for it to hit Digital or streaming platforms in time for Halloween.

However, if the budget for this reboot was low enough, there's every chance it will find its way into theaters (its 2019 predecessor grossed $55.1 million worldwide after costing a reported $50 million).

"[My favorite thing was] to...

Like The Crow, there's not exactly a huge amount of excitement surrounding Hellboy: The Crooked Man. With only Deadpool & Wolverine and Joker: Folie à Deux heading our way this year from Marvel and DC, 2024 is a good opportunity for those more obscure characters to draw the interest of superhero fans.

Unfortunately, neither of them looks particularly good if the trailers are anything to go by and the odds are heavily stacked against The Crooked Man. Guillermo del Toro's movies remain beloved and 2019's failed reboot has already raised questions about whether Hellboy can work on screen.

In an interview with Total Film, director Brian Taylor (Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance) made it clear he isn't looking to imitate what's come before.

Ketchup Entertainment’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man is set to be the live action franchise’s first full-on horror movie, with Jack Kesy (12 Strong) taking over the title role.

Total Film has shared a brand new preview piece this week that features two new images of Jack Kesy as Hellboy, along with some fresh insights from director Brian Taylor.

For starters, The Crooked Man is diving back into the original source material.

Taylor tells the outlet, “I don’t think in terms of ‘it’s a reboot’ or trying to start a new franchise – this isn’t content, it’s a movie that needs to stand on its own. Nobody wants to see a cheap knock-off of a Guillermo del Toro $100-million movie. This is going back to the young Hellboy where he was really more of the plumber who’s going to fix your monster problem. This wandering,...

Hellboy: The Crooked Man star Jack Kesy revealed why he didnt feel too pressured about playing the newest version of the titular anti-hero. The iconic character was previously portrayed by Ron Perlman in Guillermo del Toros Hellboy movies, and by David Harbour in the 2019 reboot.

Speaking with GamesRadar+, Kesy expressed his confidence about his portrayal of Hellboy in The Crooked Man movie, revealing that hes ready for whatever the fans and haters will say about his performance. "You know what, I love a good challenge, I've always been like that, so I was excited to take it on," he said. "Everyone, the supporters, the haters, whoever, bring them on. You know it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You always get an opportunity to play people similar to yourself, but when do you get a chance to be in full prosthetic, playing iconic characters? The excitement topped everything."

After giving it a moment of thought, Kesy picked The Joker, Batman's arch-nemesis and one of comic book history's most well-known characters.

We wanted to take The Crooked Man and adapt it faithfully," the director explained. "That means its a period piece, it's a younger Hellboy, and it has no relation to the other films."

Mike Mignola praises Hellboy: The Crooked Man for its accuracy to the comics, with shots lifted straight from the source material. Despite a divisive trailer, Mignola's involvement as co-writer offers hope for a successful reboot of the franchise. The Crooked Man's horror-focused plot may set it apart from previous installments, promising a unique take on the character.

While audiences may be divided on the movie for the time being, Mike Mignola has some major praise for Hellboy: The Crooked Man. The upcoming film serves as the second reboot of the movie franchise based on Mignola's comic book character of the same name, this time adapting the eponymous limited series as the protagonist becomes stranded near a town targeted by a demonic force in 1950s Appalachia. Deadpool 2 alum Jack Kesy leads the ensemble Hellboy: The Crooked Man cast alongside Martin Bassindale, Jefferson White, Adeline Rudolph, Joseph Marcell, Leah McNamara and Hannah Margetson.

The release month for Hellboy: The Crooked Man has seemingly been revealed at San Diego Comic-Con by the film's director. Hellboy: The Crooked Man is directed by Brian Taylor and features a leading cast including Jack Kesy, Jefferson White, Leah McNamara, Adeline Rudolph, Joseph Marcell, Martin Bassindale, and Hannah Margetson. It is the first Hellboy film being released since the David Harbour-starring Hellboy in 2019.

Mike Mignola's gunslinging devil Hellboy is returning to the big screen, and there are already tons of updates about Hellboy: The Crooked Man.

Speaking with Collider at Sdcc, Taylor seems to reveal the release month for Hellboy: The Crooked Man.

Director Brian Taylor has revealed how his approach to Hellboy: The Crooked Man will differ from Guillermo del Toros iteration of the comic book character. Speaking with EW at San Diego Comic-Con, Taylor praised the previous adaptation (the Guillermo [del Toro] movies have a ton of love) but asserted that his movie will stick much closer to the source material.

Its best when you go into something like this where youre taking on a character thats been done before, [and you] dont think about that stuff at all. I didnt look back on any of the other movies, Im sure these guys didnt either. We read the comic book, and we were like, Lets try to capture whats on the page.'

It is a different kind of a Hellboy movie, and what we really tried to do was go back to the source material, the original Mike Mignola comic books, which are these amazing pieces of genre,...

Ketchup Entertainment’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man has been described by its director as a folk horror movie, and this week the film has officially received its “R” rating from the MPA.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man is rated “R” for…

“Some violent content, language and nudity.”

Watch the previously released official teaser trailer below.

The first trailer for Hellboy: The Crooked Man was released at the start of this month and the response has been mixed at best. Now, we have runtime news and that may or may not bode well for this new take on the character starring Jack Kesy.

According to reliable runtime leaker @Cryptic4KQual, it will clock in at a mere 1 hour, 39 minutes.

With superhero movies, that's typically an indication they're not very good. Then again, this is a lower-budgeted project and could be a smaller self-contained story which isn't quite as CG-heavy as the movies starring Ron Perlman and David Harbour.

At least we know Hellboy: The Crooked Man will be a relatively breezy affair, anyway, and there's every chance it's going to exceed expectations when it finally arrives in theaters.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man offers fans a new look at the iconic character, complete with his signature trench coat and stone hand. Creator Mike Mignola promises this reboot will be a true horror movie, marking a departure from previous adaptations of Hellboy. The film follows Hellboy and a rookie Bprd agent as they face witches and a local devil in rural Appalachia, with a darker, folk horror twist.

Hellboy stands tall in the latest look at this years reboot, Hellboy: The Crooked Man. Following the surprise drop of the first trailer for the comic book movie reimagining, a new image has now been unveiled, and shows The Strain and Without Remorse actor Jack Kesy in all his glory, and with The Right Hand of Doom intact, as the latest iteration of the titular Hellboy.

A new image has been revealed of Jack Kesy in Hellboy: The Crooked Man. The new movie, which is unconnected to the previous films starring Ron Perlman and David Harbour, will be the first to feature Kesy as the titular hero.

Following a previously released teaser trailer and pair of images, the new photo reveals a closer look at the costume along with the Hellboy makeup. With the film expected to arrive in theaters later this year, fans can get a new look at Hellboy: The Crooked Man by checking out the image below.

The newest Hellboy film's first trailer has received backlash, but it's worth giving the film a chance for its connections to the source material.

The first trailer for Hellboy: The Crooked Man received a mixed response from fans of Big Red and something tells us this new look at Jack Kesy as the title character won't change many minds.

While this approach to the iconic hero is in line with the comics, it feels a little low-budget. David Harbour's take went much heavier on prosthetics and didn't look much better, to be fair. However, the original big screen iteration dreamed up by Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman remains beloved.

It would be wrong not to give Hellboy: The Crooked Man a fair shot, of course, and it will be interesting to see whether it exceeds expectations later this year (it's mid-July and we still don't have a confirmed release date).

Last October, we learned that Ketchup Entertainment acquired the reboot; for those of you who may not be aware, they're the studio...

Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy films were unique entries in the superhero landscape during the 2000s when Marvel and DC were starting to dominate the genre. The character was almost unknown compared to X-Men, Spider-Man, or Batman whose films were doing great at the box office at the time. Nonetheless, del Toro created something special with the two films with Ron Pearlman in the titular role.

The IP was rebooted in 2019 with David Harbour taking over the role from Pearlman. The film was a colossal failure and was a significant step down from the greatness of del Toro’s films. Hellboy is getting a second reboot from Brian Taylor but fans are not impressed with how the new film looks and are concerned that it will be worse than the 2019 reboot.

Fans Are Calling The New Hellboy...

We now have our first good look at the new Hellboy movie! Based on the comic book mini-series of the same name, the film is written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, along with Christopher Golden, and was directed by Brian Taylor.

"In the 1950s, Rookie Bprd agent Bobbie Jo Song is tasked with delivering a spider to the Bprd, but must seek Hellboy's help when things go awry. Together, they travel to Appalachia to take on the Crooked Man, who has been sent back to Earth to collect souls for the devil."

Hellboy: The Crooked Man stars Jack Kesy as Hellboy, with Jefferson White, Adeline Rudolph, Joseph Marcell, Leah McNamara, and Martin Bassindale. While there is not an official release date yet, we're told to expect release information for Hellboy: The Crooked Man is this fall.

The first trailer for Hellboy: The Crooked Man has been released, featuring Jack Kesy (Deadpool 2) as the third actor to take on the titular role. Watch it below.

After opening with a wide shot of the scenic Appalachian hills, Kesy’s Hellboy sets a dark tone. “Smells like death,” he says. “Dark things call to dark things.”

Then, we get a look at a levitating woman who gets horrifically bitten by a massive snake. Before the trailer ends, Hellboy gets ready for action by pulling out a large gun. “We’ve got company,” he warns, before a creepy laugh rings out.

Set in the 1950s, the reboot will see Hellboy and a rookie Bprd agent (Adeline Rudolph) stranded in rural Appalachia, where they team up to protect the community from witches led by the Crooked Man (Martin Bassindale), who is collecting souls for the devil.
