I think the difference is here, the bulk of the Fegredo arc takes place in the real world,” Mignola said in that interview. “The first film was based on one of the comics, but Del Toro was looking to reinvent everything. ![]() That film's sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Mignola told EW, was less based on the comics than an original story. Mignola told Entertainment Weekly that director Neil Marshall has stayed more loyal to the comics than previous director Guillermo del Toro, whose 2004 film (also called Hellboy) was based loosely on the Seed of Destruction comic. It turns out there are three: Darkness Calls, The Wild Hunt, and The Storm and the Fury, all from Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. So which Hellboy comics is the new movie based on? That's a major change from Ron Pearlman portraying the superhero in the first two live action films (as well as additional animated versions and video games), but that's not the only redesign in the reboot of the series - the new Hellboy is said to be drawing directly from the comics in a way that previous iterations have only hinted at. Another Hellboy movie is heading to theaters on April 12, and this time, David Harbour will be taking on the iconic character from Dark Horse Comics.
