Everyone ’s chemical reaction whenthe first picture of David Harbour in full Hellboy makeuphit the internet was that he looked almost exactly like Ron Perlman ’s iconic , extremely on - point version of the character . Harbour has no trouble looking the part , but what will really secern his take on Hellboy is his performance .
In a recent consultation withThe Independent , Harbour name how he feel that his role as Stranger Things police tribal chief Jim Hopper had definitely helped prepare him to take on Hellboy . But Harbour was quick to add that he truly felt that the story he ’s trying to say about the hellish zep ’s conflict with his privileged demons is more blood-related to a Shakespearan play .
On a aerofoil stratum , he ’s an adopted kid from hell . He was meant to contribute about the apocalypse . Yet , he just wants to be a skillful guy and fight evil . But he has this destiny . That struggle is very village - esque , even having tones of Coriolanus , where you have this guy who can not read his own lawful nature . Those stage of complexity , if we can land that to this motion-picture show , which we ’re trying to do , I cogitate will be really rich .

Hellboy ’s need to reconcile his naturally merriment - know personality with the fact that he ’s meant to be an arbiter of the Book of Revelation is a key part of what makes the character tick , and it ’ll be interesting to see how Harbour decides to demonstrate that excited turmoil . Let ’s just hope that whatever makeup they ’ve slathered all over his face does n’t get in the way of his emoting .
