As a long-time fan of the Hellboy comics, I am both excited and intrigued by the latest look at this year’s reboot, Hellboy: The Crooked Man. The new image of Jack Kesy as our beloved anti-hero, complete with his signature trench coat and stone hand, brings a sense of nostalgia while also offering a fresh perspective. I appreciate Mike Mignola’s commitment to delivering a true horror movie experience, which is a departure from previous adaptations.

In the newest peek at this year’s Hellboy reboot, titled “Hellboy: The Crooked Man,” Hellboy is depicted towering in the freshly released image. Following the unexpected release of the trailer for the comic book movie remake, a new picture has emerged, revealing Jack Kesy in full regalia and wielding the notorious Right Hand of Doom as the latest portrayal of the main character, Hellboy.

In the new portrayal of the character in “The Crooked Man,” we see him puffing on a cigar and donning his distinctive features: red skin, filed-down horns, and a trench coat. Fans are familiar with this appearance. Although the upcoming reboot may present a more humanized version of Hellboy (as humanlike as a demon can be), the image confirms that his massive, ominous right hand, The Right Hand of Doom, will remain unchanged.

As a gamer, I’d describe it like this: In “Hellboy: The Crooked Man,” I step into the shoes of the protagonist, Hellboy, led by Brian Taylor’s brilliant direction (known for “Crank” and “Happy!”). This dark adventure is born from a screenplay by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden, inspired by Mignola’s graphic novel series of the same name.

Hellboy Creator Promises The Crooked Man Is ‘A Horror Movie’

Mike Mignola, the brainchild behind Hellboy, has played a significant role in producing “Hellboy: The Crooked Man.” He contributed to the screenplay for this new take on the character. According to Mignoa, this version of Hellboy will be a genuine “horror film” and is assuredly rated “R.” He shared this information with Variety.

As a long-time fan of horror films, I was thrilled to learn that our lead actor’s intention is to create a terrifying masterpiece with his upcoming Hellboy project. Having attended countless screenings and read numerous scripts in my years as a film enthusiast, I can confidently say that the new draft I read yesterday is undeniably R-rated.

For decades, we’ve advocated producing a Hellboy film with a compact scale. The ideal candidate for this project is “The Crooked Man,” which I hold in high regard and believe to be among my best works. It boasts stunning illustrations by Richard Corben, and its narrative focuses on a limited cast of characters, rather than an ensemble. From the get-go, consensus prevailed: “Let’s go for this one.” Financially, it’s a wise choice due to its smaller scope. It doesn’t retell Hellboy’s origin or depict him saving the world. Instead, it offers a subtle, eerie folk horror tale with a minimalist approach.

You can also check out the official synopsis for the Hellboy reboot below.

In the 1950s, Hellboy and a new BPRD agent found themselves in a secluded Appalachian village. Unbeknownst to them, this place was under the dark influence of witches. Leading this coven was a local devil with a disturbing past link to Hellboy: The Crooked Man.

I’m thrilled about the upcoming movie, Hellboy: The Crooked Man. Although we don’t have an exact release date just yet, it’s predicted that it will grace the big screens this year. Can’t wait!
