First ‘Hellboy’ poster reveals David Harbour in the ‘Rise of the Blood Queen’ story

Lionsgate has released the first Hellboy poster for their upcoming reboot which centers on the “Rise of the Blood Queen,” which was the subtitle back in August 2017. Check it out at the bottom.

Mike Mignola’s character comes to life this time by Stranger Things’ David Harbour. The new film will be directed by Neil Marshall.

The poster, via EW, is very dynamic, showcasing the character’s “Right Hand of Doom” as the prophet of apocalypse hasn’t broken free of his role yet (note the horns) and fighting against end times and not being party to bring them.

Deadwood star Ian McShane plays Hellboy’s adoptive father, Professor Broom, and has confessed that the portrayal is a bit of an homage to John Hurt, who portrayed professor Broom in the first two Hellboy films.

Hellboy is being directed by Marshall (Game of Thrones) with Sasha Lane (American Honey) as Alice Monaghan, Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil) as the Queen of Blood, Daniel Dae Kim (Hawaii Five-O) as Major Ben Daimio, Penelope Mitchell (The Vampire Diaries) as Ganeida, Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) as Lady Hatton, Brian Gleeson (mother!, 28 Days Later) as Merlin, and Alistair Petrie (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) as Lord Adam Glaren.

Hellboy is set for release on April 12, 2019.
