Hellboy (2019) Poster Features David Harbour In His Full Costume

David Harbour's Stranger Things) and directed by Neil Marshall (The Descent), following the pair of Guillermo del Toro-helmed Hellboy films (starring Ron Perlman as Big Red) that were released back in the 2000s.

Hellboy (2019) is also the first live-action Hellboy adventure to be written by the titular character's creator, Mike Mignola. The film pits Big Red against Resident Evil's Milla Jovovich as the Blood Queen (an ancient sorceress who's hungry for revenge against humanity) and, according to Mignola, the film's at New York Comic Con 2018 later this week.

the film's newly-set April 2019 release date, which Summit Entertainment only announced this past week. Even with the delay, however, it's expected that Mignola and the rest of the Hellboy gang will show off some actual footage from the film during its NYCC (with an official trailer dropping online at a later date).

Unlike the previously-released first look photo of Harbour as Hellboy, Big Red's horns haven't been shaved down to stumps in this poster. That's noteworthy since, as the character's fans know all too well, Hellboy trims his horns as a way of keeping his demonic nature in check and, thus, rejecting his destiny as the beast fated to bring about the apocalypse on earth. Of course, given how powerful the Blood Queen is, Big Red might have to get down a bit with his bad demon side in the film, if he's to have any chance of defeating her.

The Hellboy reboot likewise promises to be darker and grittier than del Toro's films were, with Mignola and Marshall's creative vision described as being Hellboy might do a little singing in the reboot.

Whether that singing involves beer and Barry Manilow (a la Hellboy II: The Golden Army), that's another matter.
