The reboot of the series currently has the title Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen, the R-Rating seemingly bringing the films closer to the darker tones of the comics rather than family-focussed Del Toro series.
Del Toro said of Mignola pressing on without him: “Hellboy may move into a different direction.
Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy and 2008 sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, were wonderful films, filled characters that only the mastermind behind Pan’s Labyrinth could have produced.
“ Comic book author Andrew Cosby, Sons of Anarchy novelist Christopher Golden and Mignola will pen the script.
