Talk about yer bad news, good news situation. First, the bad: Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman are really, truly no longer involved in future Hellboy movies, as reported by the director a while ago. But according to the character's creator, Mike Mignola, Hellboy will return, this time with Stranger Things' David Harbour in talks to take the lead role.

Mignola goes on in his brief Facebook post to say that Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, and several great Game Of Thrones episodes) is on board to direct this rebooted incarnation and that the aim will be an R-rated version.

The clear talents of Marshall, Harbour (who was considered for Cable in Deadpool 2) and Mignola's blessing represent the good here, though that's unlikely to win over the majority of Hellboy movie fans, who have long been clamouring for a third instalment with del Toro directing and Perlman back in the costume.

Now it appears that Millennium Films is looking to make a deal to produce this new version. Which means: yes, it seems we will get more Hellboy, just not in the form we all expected. We can smell the internet burning down from here.
