Meanwhile, according to The Collider, Harbour gave some spoilers and details about this new "Hellboy" Reboot and he confirmed that this film will not be telling all about the story of the origin of the character. Instead, the plot will take its link from "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Despite this turn in the plot, "Hellboy" Reboot offers another extraordinary challenge in that latest yet very striking adaptation.

Surely, the new franchise will take the viewers to new ideas regarding the origin of the main character.
