Ian McShane Believes ‘Hellboy’ Will ‘Surprise’ People; Praises David Harbour

Ian McShane believes the upcoming Hellboy reboot will “surprise” people and praised David Harbour’s performance in the film.

Fans are mixed on the upcoming Hellboy reboot, which hits theaters next month. The Hellboy reboot takes the place of Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy 3, which struggled to get off the ground for years. Despite some fans not being completely on board with the reboot, Ian McShane shared in a recent interview with The New York Times that he believes the film will “surprise” people:

I think that’s going to surprise a lot of people. David [Harbour of “Stranger Things”] is a marvelous actor. He just fills out the role. It was nice and bittersweet taking over [Professor Bruttenholm] from a dear old friend of mine, John Hurt. But it’s not Part 3. It’s a complete reboot of [Guillermo del Toro’s] “Hellboy,” and I think they picked the right guy in David. It was a pleasure to work with him and be in Bulgaria for three weeks, a country I’ve never been to before. Greatest fresh vegetables I’ve ever tasted. And the scripts are funny and smart and bright, and the action is fantastic, and I have grandkids who love all that. They can’t wait.

Are you excited for the upcoming reboot? Do you think David Harbour can top Ron Perlman? Comment below!

Based on the graphic novels by Mike Mignola, Hellboy, caught between the worlds of the supernatural and human, battles an ancient sorceress bent on revenge.

Directed by Neil Marshall from a script co-written by character creator Mike Mignola, Andrew Cosby, and Christopher Golden, the film stars David Harbour, Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Daniel Dae Kim, and Sasha Lane.

Hellboy will be released in theaters on April 12, 2019.
