Hellboy The Crooked Man

Following Guillermo del Toro’s 2004 and 2008 fantasy starring Ron Pearlman, and then Neil Marshall’s 2019 action starring Stranger Thing’s David Harbour comes the latest movie incarnation of our favourite cigar-smoking big red hero with Hellboy: The Crooked Man, which is definitely giving more horror vibes.

Check out the teaser trailer…

The latest movie has been co-written by Mike Mignola, who created the original Hellboy comic book back in 1994, alongside Christopher Golden (who is probably most well known for his writing work on Buffy The Vampire Slayer books and affiliated projects, but who has also worked on Mignola’s Hellboy comics).

Based on the comic-book miniseries of the same name by Mignola and artist Richard Corben, Hellboy: The Crooked Man was first published in July 2008 and is set in the 1950s. It follows a rookie agent of the BPRD (the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense) who teams up with Hellboy to protect the residents of Appalachia from the creepy Crooked Man, who is collecting souls for the devil.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man sees Crank’s Brian Taylor take on directing duties. It stars 12 Strong’s Jack Kesy as Big Red himself, alongside Adeline Rudolph (Resident Evil), Jefferson White (Yellowstone), Leah McNamara (Vikings), Joseph Marcell (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), Hannah Margetson, and Martin Bassindale as The Crooked Man.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man is in cinemas 27 September
