Yeh, physically, excellent choice. I like Harbour as an actor as well, but it’s gonna be tough topping Perlman in the role. Still, I have high hopes.
I have a friend much like you (and sorry if I am mixing you up with another poster(s)... I know some here dislike superheroes) where he refuses to watch superhero movies except for the occasional X-Men flick.
I get why people dislike them but to me, provided it’s well done, that is fine. Many superhero movies cross genres. From what I hear, Hellboy reboot is supposed to be darker in tone. It hasn’t come out yet, but New Mutants is supposed to be a horror movie. The Punisher show on Netflicks has zero super powers.
Yeah, I get MCU and DCEU movies can be messy spectacles, but both have had gems. Ok, DC had one in WW, but for MCU, the last two Captain America’s were great, as was the last Thor.
While I am looking forward to the reboot and Harbour’s take on the hero, I am sad they couldn’t make a final Hellboy with Perlman and crew to wrap up that story. Apparently Del Toro had it all planned out for 3 movies.
