Marshall also brought up the success of movies like Logan and Deadpool leading the way for R-rated comic book movies while commenting on the gore of the original Hellboy comic book.
Hellboy reboot director Neil Marshall (The Descent) has been talking about the upcoming movie’s R-rating allowing him to “take off the cuffs” while adapting the popular comic book series.
The original comic was written and illustrated by Mike Mignola and later turned into two successful big screen adaptations by Guillermo del Toro, starring Ron Perlman.
The R-rating will certainly help to separate the reboot from Guillermo del Toro’s original Hellboy movies, which were each rated PG-13.
