The first trailer for Hellboy: The Crooked Man, starring Jack Kesy as the titular half-demon, has arrived.
In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, necks snap, tentacles strangle, and it all takes place in some pretty spooky Blair Witch-looking woods. It looks and feels a lot more like a horror movie than your typical superhero movie – which definitely has us intrigued.
Per the official synopsis: The film takes place In the 1950s and finds Hellboy and a rookie BPRD agent stranded in rural Appalachia. The pair “discovers a small community haunted by witches, led by a local devil with a troubling connection to Hellboy’s past: The Crooked Man.” Brian Taylor directs from a screenplay he penned with Christopher Golden and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola.
The cast includes Jefferson White, Adeline Rudolph, Joseph Marcell, Leah McNamara, Hannah Margetson, and Martin Bassindale as both Hellboy’s adoptive father and the Crooked Man.
Kesy is perhaps best known for playing Black Tom Cassidy inDeadpool 2and Gabriel Bolivar in the FX horror drama The Strain. He recently starred alongside Michael Fassbender in The Killer and is currently filming Tim Story’s The Pickup, which stars Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson.
