Not long after Mignola announced the reboot, the film was assigned the working title Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen, in what appeared to be an obvious nod to a character facing off again Hellboy in the story.
Bloody Disgusting says it has confirmed that Millennium Films and Lionsgate’s production of Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen will now simply be titled Hellboy.
Any change is welcome at this point to avoid association with any Hellboy films that have come before the reboot.
Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen is reportedly losing its subtitle.
