Casting the perfect Hellboy for a live-action adaptation is no easy task. Since his debut in San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2 in 1993, the demonic hero—created by Mike Mignola and published by Dark Horse Comics—has become an iconic figure in the comic book world. A blend of pulp adventure, folklore, and supernatural horror, Hellboy solidified Dark Horse as a major publisher and influenced countless creators. With his gruff demeanor, dry wit, and heart of gold, bringing Hellboy to life requires an actor who embodies both his monstrous exterior and deeply human core. Here are four actors perfect for the role.
Ron Perlman starred in Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008), both directed by Guillermo del Toro. David Harbour played Hellboy in the Hellboy reboot (2019), directed by Neil Marshall. Jack Kesy starred in the second reboot Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024).
These are our four picks:
- Jason Mamoa
- Alan Ritchson
- Winston Duke
- Henry Cavill
