Hellboy Star Confirms That Reboot Will Be Bloody

While the recent trailer for Hellboy have some skeptical that this reboot will live up to the darker, more serious tone in the original movies, star David Harbour has confirmed that this film is certainly earning its R-Rating.

“There’s really a sense that you’re actually killing things, even if they are giants or monsters,” Harbour said in an interview, “You’re chopping their heads off, you’re bathing in their blood and you’re feeling the complex feelings of actually cutting the heart out of another thing. We’re taking the time to deal with the fact that Hellboy is a killer. He’s a weapon.”

Mike Mignola also wanted to point out to fans that Hellboy was not a superhero movie/character:

“Well, I mean, if anything, we’re trying to do something very different. Basically, there’s no part of Hellboy that was ever going to be like other superhero movies. And the more Marvel stuff there is, the more DC stuff there is, Hellboy never really feels like—even in the [Guillermo] del Toro things—a superhero movie. It’s so much “big teams of guys, in costumes, running around and saving the world from big cosmic menace stuff…” I believe the new movie will feel even less like a regular superhero thing. The idea with this one was to make it play much less like a superhero film, to downplay the superhero elements even more than del Toro did. This one is much more folklore/mythology/horror, and not ‘big team rushing into to do battle with whatever kind of stuff.'”

Hellboy hits theaters on April 12th.
