Hellboy är ju på väg att bli film igen och denna gång kommer filmen att vara mer trogen serietidningarna än Guillermo del Toros två senaste filmtolkningar. I väntan på att filmen ska släppas nästa år berättar Stranger Things-stjärnan David Harbour, som spelar titelfiguren, lite mer om helvetespojkens komplicerade natur och beskriver handlingen som en Shakespare-influerad berättelse om en människas dualitet:
"He's a creature that was meant to bring about the end of the world, and he just sort of wants to be a good guy. He's got that complexity to him. He's also a monster who lives among human beings, so he's in a sense fighting for human beings against his fellow monsters, and yet the humans hate him because they fear him and they think he's weird looking and everything"
"There's that question of, why am I fighting this battle? Just because of some sense of justice, or some sense of good? It's a really interesting question that sort of is at the core of him, that he struggles with... I know that writer Mike Mignola and director Neil Marshall and producer Lloyd Levin all watched Stranger Things and saw that in what I did there, which is similar. He has a heart that's really good and with a lot of this crusted-over stuff. What I'm dealing with in Hellboy is a lot different, bigger in a certain way. It's very Shakespearean. It's demons and witches and stuff like that. But it has a similar core to a dude who's trapped in horrible circumstances who's just trying to be a good guy"
Hellboy-rullen har premiär den elfte januari 2019. Ser du framemot att se den röda Dark Horse-figuren på vita duken igen?
Maka på dig Ron Perlman, det finns en ny pannkaksfantast i stan...
