The Hellboy universe just added a new creepy-crawlie to their list of spooky things to freak you out, a raccoon that skitters into your room while you sleep, and climbs INTO YOUR MOUTH thus possessing your body with its trash panda spirit. At least, that’s what opens in the brand new “Hellboy: The Crooked Man” trailer that dropped at San Diego Comic-Con.

Kesy joined castmates JeffersonWhite(“Yellowstone”),AdelineRudolph(“Resident Evil”), directorBrianTaylor and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, the gang tickeld the crowd with a new look at the third iteration of this beloved monster.

The new film is based off the beloved “Crooked Man” comic storyline (also penned by Mignola). A book that is 100% spooky has hell, which is exactly what the new crew wants. PvNew is exclusively debuting the new Comic-Con trailer that reveals both titular characters, the aforementioned cursed raccoon and a really, really big snake. The film is slated to be released sometime in 2024, the trailer said “coming soon.”
In an earlier interview with PvNew, Mignola expressed his confidence in Taylor’s vision, “His intention is to make a horror movie, so that’ll be nice. That’ll be interesting.” based off his comic “The Crooked Man,” Mignola co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Golden and director Taylor also did his own “spin” on their work. While the drafts varied with each iteration, the R-rating stayed the same. “It’s the first Hellboy script that I read and I went, ‘Oh, it’s a horror movie,’ which is what I wanted. Taylor does not have a reputation as a horror movie director. But, so far, we’ve had two horror movie directors make Hellboy movies and we’ve never gotten a horror movie.”
