Fans of the iconic half-demon superhero have a reason to celebrate as “Hellboy: The Crooked Man will be scheduled for release on September 27, 2024. This new installment is to be an adaptation of one of the most popular Mikey Mignola comic series and to bring a new, horrifying plot to the big screen.
Written by Brian Taylor in conjunction with its source material of Mike Mignola and standing as Hellboy’s fourth story, ‘The Crooked Man,’ is a new chapter embedded with the character Hellboy but a different film experience altogether. This film avoids capturing other elements that are recurrent in this Hellboy universe; it has a compact plot that does not feature other BPRD main characters such as Abe Sapien
Jack Kesy sets foot into Hellboy’s shoes to deliver something new without disrespecting the representation given by other actors. Kesy’s Hellboy is an action-packed thriller that revolves around the vanishing of children and a dangerous entity known as the Crooked Man, portrayed by Martin Bassindale. The morale of this antagonist is tied to Hellboy’s past which creates additional levels of tension for the storyline.
However, one must mention that this project is closely related to Hellboy creator’s direction, with Mike Mignola. Mignola worked with Chris Golden, to come up with the script that would help in making the movie very flashy and true to the comic books. The idea of this partnership is that fans of the source material in comic books will be ready for adaptation on the screen.
“Hellboy: Shooting of ‘The Crooked Man’ is likely to cover factors such as witchcraft, folktale, and vice. Bearing in mind that The Crooked Man is the primary antagonist of the film, this character is an ideal omen for causing disturbances through a range of unnatural occurrences stemming from the black arts of occultism. This makes the movie unique from other adaptations because the main elements are horror and characters’ sketches in Hellboy’s universe.
