David Harbour's Hellboy Reboot Reviewed By Original Abe Sapien Actor

With the future of the franchise largely unknown after the film, original Abe Sapien actor Doug Jones has shared his thoughts on David Harbour's Hellboy reboot. Mike Mignola's iconic comic books were originally brought to the big screen in 2004 with Guillermo del Toro having written and directed the film and Ron Perlman leading its ensemble cast.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Released in 2019, Harbour led the cast of the last Hellboy movie, which saw the hero trying to find his place in the world while also learning of a dark plan to bring back an evil sorceress to jumpstart the apocalypse and let the creatures of the dark roam free around the world.

I did [see it], yeah, and David Harbour did a great job. Of course, my big brother Red played by Ron Perlman is what I'm more used to, I guess. David did a great job, I thought, but aside from acting and all, it was a different tone, because it was also not a Guillermo del Toro film either. It has its merits, I can't say anything bad about it.

Given Jones was involved with the franchise under del Toro's tutelage for five years, it's understandable he would have certain expectations going into watching the Hellboy reboot. Much like some audiences, the original Abe Sapien actor at least appreciated Harbour's turn as the iconic B.P.R.D. agent, whom many felt was the sole shining light in the film.

Interestingly, the Hellboy reboot ended with Harbour's character and Sasha Lane's Alice and Daniel Dae Kim's Ben Daimio discovering Abe Sapien's tank, setting up the character's inclusion in the likely-scrapped sequel and leaving many hopeful for Jones to try his hand in the R-rated tone of the new film.
