David Harbour has a tough act to follow. The Stranger Things star is about to lead a blockbuster in Neil Marshall’s Hellboy reboot – a fresh take on the Mike Mignola comic that looks set to lean further into the horror elements of the source material and team up Big Red with a bunch of new allies. Not only does the film have to hold up alongside the legacy of Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy movies (which hinted at a third film that never arrived), but Harbour himself has to differentiate his Hellboy from Ron Perlman’s incarnation. Speaking to Empire in the April 2019 issue – out now – Harbour talked about how he aims to put his own stamp on the rock-fisted demon.
