Harbour takes on the role of the comic book anti-hero in a reboot of the franchise which saw Ron Perlman in the title role, under the stewardship of director Guillermo Del Toro.

In the 2019 version of "Hellboy," the titular half-demon - who was summoned from Hell to Earth by Rasputin and Nazi occultists - battles British sorceress Nimue, the Queen of Blood (Milla Jovovich) who is determined to bring about the end of the world.

Actor Daniel Dae Kim said "I think it's a rollercoaster ride. You know, it's, it's action-packed; it's gory. I hope you don't mind a little violence. There's some, there's a lot of comedy and some really good performances to boot."

"Hellboy" is directed by Neil Marshall and is now in theatres.
