Summary
As the franchise gear up to return with a second reboot , Neil Marshall reflects on 2019’sHellboyand its recent Netflix success .

While the practical make - up and Harbour ’s performance grade some positive reception , Hellboywas a vital and commercial-grade failureon sacking , barely recoup its $ 50 million production budget .
During a late consultation withScreen Rantfor his coming crime thrillerDuchess , Marshall was asked aboutHellboy ’s recent upsurge in popularity on Netflix , including landing on the streamer ’s Top 10 in March . The director humorously affirmed thatthe 2019 reboot will " never be my favorite film " of his , and admits to having trouble disassociating his unmanageable behind - the - scenes experience from the belated following its determination , but is happy there are citizenry who are enjoying it .

How Hellboy: The Crooked Man Can Learn From The 2019 Reboot’s Missteps
Marshall is n’t the only creative involved withthe 2019Hellboyrebootwho has frankly reflected on making the movie , with Harbour also frequently lamenting his experience with the labor . In addition to humorously stating he looks at a framed photo of his character to keep him lowly , Harbour has also described his Marvel Cinematic Universe role of Red Guardian as something of a " palate cleansing agent " .

After 2019 ’s Hellboy give out commercially , the franchise is getting rebooted once again , but a few detail suggest that it could be much secure .
In the wake of its short performance , a new incarnation of the iconic franchise is in growth withHellboy : The Crooked Man , a second reboot with creator Mike Mignola onboard as both a Colorado - writer and executive producer . Despite the 2019 movie ’s missteps , though , there are a bit of thingsThe Crooked Mancan take off from itto put the series back on track . One of the biggest is the R - rated whole step , which many reviewer felt to be a bluff enough golf stroke to set it aside from del Toro ’s movies .
The other key lessonThe Crooked Manshould take away from 2019’sHellboyis its focus on practical designs for the majority of its supernatural fauna . Del Toro took a exchangeable approach to his adaption , something he ’s done throughout his filmography , though Marshall ’s movie felt like it nicely established its own tone and world with its haunting designs for the likes of Baba Yaga and others . WithHellboy : The Crooked Mantaking a more groundedand horror - driven approachthan prior instalment , it would be appropriate for co - writer / theatre director Brian Taylor to capitalize with both an radius - rated tone and practical effect to make its titulary resister and other threats .
