Harbour spent long hours getting into the character and not all of them were in make-up chair. The New York Comic Con appearance is Saturday morning at Javits Center, with Mignola and Harbour joining a panel that is expected to include fellow cast members Ian McShane, Daniel Dae Kim and Sasha Lane. The previous Hellboy films starred Ron Perlman ( Sons of Anarchy) in the title role, but this time around the crimson-colored lug will be portrayed by David Harbour, who has considerable experience with supernatural seekers as the Emmy-nominated star of Netflix’s hit Stranger Things. The director of the new film is Neil Marshall ( The Descent) working from a script written by Andrew Cosby ( 2 Guns). Is it a sequel like the second del Toro film ? I suspect calling this one just Hellboy sends the message that this is the first one in a new series of movies.” “They would like this to be the first of many new Hellboy movies and if they had a subtitle it might make it a little confusing. “Honestly, I was a little surprised that they didn’t give it a subtitle,” Mignola said. With a new star, new director, new tone and new story, the title now feels like a signal that this is a fresh start for a reborn franchise. Mignola tells Deadline he was initially caught off guard by the choice but then came to see value within its symbolism.
