Aside from the clear loyalty that Hellboy fans will always have for Perlman’s take, Harbour is a fairly perfect choice for the character of Hellboy.
Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen is currently eyeing a filming start date for later this Fall, and it’s been quite a wild ride for Hellboy fans over the past couple of weeks.
Just yesterday even, Harbour and Perlman were shown with Patton Oswalt having dinner, around the same time that Harbour teased his prosthetic fitting for the character’s iconic right hand of doom.
Despite the initially mixed reaction to the announcement, the buzz has been steadily growing around the Hellboy reboot, which is currently titled Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen.
