The second poster also focuses on Harbour bathed in fire, this time with his horns intact, rocking his Right Hand of Doom. He took to Twitter to reveal the first poster, which has David Harbour's new version of the character surrounded in fire, looking very grim with his gun loaded and ready to rock. That miniseries was set in 1956 and followed Hellboy encountering a man who once sold his soul to a demon and was looking for a way to defeat this monster hidden within the Appalachian Mountains and (quite literally) save the man’s soul.Speaking of Mike Mignola, he's directly involved with the new R-rated reboot, which will be heading in a very different direction than the previous two Guillermo del Toro movies. This may or may not serve as the final title of the film, but either way, it seems likely the movie will help to adapt the three-issue comic miniseries of the same name.

Right now, the upcoming movie has the working title Hellboy: The Crooked Man. For example, he helped write the screenplay for the 2010 Jonah Hex film starring Josh Brolin, and he was co-director of the 2011 Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance film starring Nicholas Cage. While Taylor has plenty of experience adapting comics to film, the results have been largely mixed. One thing that may or may not inspire much confidence is that this next Hellboy film will be directed by Brian Taylor. In addition, Golden provided some rewrites (albeit uncredited ones) to the 2019 Hellboy script, so he has extensive familiarity with both Mignola and Mignola’s demonic creation. Previously, Golden penned three canonical Hellboy novels with Mignola’s permission, and the two have created a shared horror universe known as the Outerverse (one part of that universe, the Dark Horse comic Baltimore, was created by both of them). Another reason to be excited is that Mignola’s longtime collaborator Christopher Golden is attached to the project.
