Hellboy Probably Won't Get A Sequel, Actor Says

<p>The Hellboy reboot starring David Harbour is unlikely to get a sequel, according to actor David Harbour who plays the title character. Speaking to GameSpot sister site <a href="https://comicbook.com/horror/2019/06/27/hellboy-sequel-scrapped-david-harbour-nothing-planned/">ComicBook</a>, Harbour said he's heard from a lot of people who really enjoyed the film. However, the "culture at large" did not seem to generally enjoy the action movie, he said.</p><p>"I don't think there'll be much of a light," Harbour said about a potential sequel.</p><p>Not only that, but Harbour remarked that Hellboy didn't make a lot of money. The movie, which was reportedly developed on a $50 million budget, bombed in the US/Canada, where it <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/shazam-stays-top-of-us-box-office-chart-while-hell/1100-6466249/">opened to only $12 million</a>. Worldwide, the film made $46 million.</p><p>"I don't think it made a lot of money," Harbour said. "I don't really keep up with those things too much to be honest, but I don't think the perception was that it was a hit, and so in that way, I don't know that the risk is worth it [for a sequel]. I think the idea is to move on. The producers spoke to me just saying, 'Great job,' they really liked what I did, but I haven't heard anything about a sequel, and I'm not hanging my hat on anything like that."</p><p>2019's Hellboy was a reboot of sorts for the series that began in 2004. The first movie was directed by Guillermo del Toro and starred Ron Perlman as Hellboy. A sequel, The Golden Army, was released in 2008, also starring Perlman and directed by del Toro.</p><p>There were reports that Hellboy suffered from a number of <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/hellboy-david-harbour-neil-marshall/">behind-the-scenes problems</a>, including fights between producers and director Neil Marshall, and Harbour not being cooperative.</p><p>Hellboy also stars Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Daniel Dae Kim, Sasha Lane, and Thomas Haden Church.</p>
