Ron Perlman is well-known for playing the titular character in Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army, both directed by Guillermo del Toro. The actor, who received many praises for his performance as the demon, did not reprise the role in a reboot film which then featured David Harbour as the demonic superhero. Now, Perlman revealed that he had an option to portray the character in Hellboy reboot but turned it down. Read to know more.
In an interview with an entertainment portal, Ron Perlman said that the only thing that is stopping the third Hellboy film is the fact that Guillermo del Toro is one of the busiest guys in the industry. He mentioned that the Oscar-winning filmmaker cannot make Hellboy 3 even if he wanted to, because he has already got much work lined up. The actor stated that the two films had nothing to do with one another.
Ron Perlman added that the Hellboy reboot was something he had the opportunity to participate in. But he decided that the only version of the Big Red he is interested in is the one he did with Guillermo del Toro. So he walked away from it and mentioned that he `truly walked away` from the reboot as he has not seen the film or heard much about it. Perlman noted that he wished the reboot team well, but the film was not in his territory.
Released in 2019, Hellboy reboot is directed by Neil Marshall. It stars David Harbour as the titular character alongside Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Sasha Lane, Daniel Dae Kim, and Thomas Haden Church. The movie opened up to negative reviews from both the critics and the audiences. It reportedly tanked at the box office, failing to match its production budget.
