Fans of the Hellboy series can brace themselves for an upcoming reboot that promises to stay loyal to its horror origins. Entitled Hellboy: The Crooked Man, this movie is scheduled to hit theaters in 2024, and the newly released trailer hints at a thrilling addition to the franchise.
Directed by Brian Taylor, recognized for his action-packed films such as Crank and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Hellboy: The Crooked Man marks his venture into the horror genre.

Transporting viewers to the 1950s, the plot revolves around rookie BPRD agent Bobbie Jo Song, portrayed by Adeline Rudolph, who finds herself on a critical mission. Entrusted with delivering a spider to the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, she gets caught up in a conflict against the evil Crooked Man, returning to Earth to gather souls for the devil. Hellboy, played by Jack Kesy, joins forces with her, and together, they must combat the dark and malevolent forces at play.
The ensemble cast includes Jefferson White as Tom Ferrel, along with Leah McNamara, Joseph Marcell, Hannah Margetson, and Martin Bassindale, providing a diverse and nuanced composition to the movie. Teaming up with Taylor’s direction, it hints at a dynamic and engaging adaptation of Mike Mignola’s acclaimed graphic novel.
Speaking to Variety, Mignola expressed his enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing, “It’s the first Hellboy script that I read and I went, ‘Oh, it’s a horror movie,’ which is what I wanted.” This sentiment resonates in the trailer, teasing a genuinely chilling ambiance distinct from previous iterations.
Produced by Ketchup Entertainment, Hellboy: The Crooked Man is slated for release in 2024. This reboot promises to offer a fresh and terrifying perspective on the Hellboy narrative, making it a must-see for both existing fans and new audiences.
