Let’s also not forget how polarizing the news of the Hellboy reboot was after years of fans wanting Hellboy III to happen.
Nevertheless, Harbour ultimately ignored the requests of these “nerds” and accepted the responsibility of playing Hellboy.
Hearing such requests from those close to him wasn’t too surprising to David Harbour, mainly because Hellboy was played so well by Ron Perlman in the two Guillermo del Toro-directed movies last decade.
As he explained to THR, his version of Hellboy will be a unique take on the character that’s closer to the original Dark Horse Comics stories, Plus, with all of the actors over the years who’ve played comic book characters like Batman and The Joker, he hopes that longtime Hellboy fans and casual moviegoers alike can appreciate both his and Perlman’s versions.
