Stranger Things actor David Harbour is set to star as demonic superhero Hellboy in a film version of the irreverent comic-book franchise.
The character appeared in Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and, while neither film achieved more than minor box-office success, the series attracted a cult following, prompting calls for a third film.
Neither Guillermo Del Toro, who directed two previous instalments of the franchise, nor Ron Perlman, who starred in the films, are involved in the new version.
The show became a surprise hit in July last year, and a second series will be released this Halloween.
