The film was a box office bomb, grossing $44.7 million worldwide during its original theatrical run against a $50 million production budget. Hellboy was theatrically released on April 12, 2019, to negative reviews and was unfavorably compared to the del Toro films. Principal photography began in September 2017 in the United Kingdom and Bulgaria and ended in December 2017.
The project was turned into an R-rated reboot after Marshall was hired as the director and Harbour cast as Hellboy. Guillermo del Toro was not offered the full writer-director role he had performed in the first two films, and Ron Perlman, who had portrayed Hellboy in the previous films, refused to return without del Toro's involvement. The project began as a sequel to Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008), with Andrew Cosby and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola writing the script. In the film, Hellboy struggles with his own existential crisis while preventing a resurrected sorceress from conquering the world. The film draws inspiration from the comic books Darkness Calls, The Wild Hunt, The Storm and the Fury, and Hellboy in Mexico. It is a reboot of the Hellboy film series, and the third live-action film in the franchise. Directed by Neil Marshall, the film stars David Harbour in the title role, alongside Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Sasha Lane, Daniel Dae Kim, and Thomas Haden Church. But that's the backdrop for it.Hellboy is a 2019 American superhero film based on the comic books of the same name published by Dark Horse Comics. I don’t know how, he didn’t give me those details. And everything will be resolved, all these open-ended questions will finally be resolved.
So that’s the backdrop for the third film. So you don’t know what those two offspring are going to be? Are they going to be more human? Are they going to be more demon? Are they going to be a combination of the two? And how is that going to play out, in terms of Hellboy's destiny. Then of course you have Liz pregnant with twins at the end of the second film. Those things are going to be in play in the third one. This whole notion that his nature, is the demon of destruction - against the way he's been nurtured by his father, John Hurt's character, to be kind and in the service of mankind. He's been summoned to the Earth for the destruction of mankind, and that’s non-negotiable. The only thing I can share with you is we have this demon who is a victim of this Oracle, which is not negotiable.
