According to the manager Brian Taylornew hellboy movie, Hellboy: The Twisted Man, It's anything but another reboot of a beloved comic book character. The eponymous demonic hero has been transformed into two different versions on the big screen.

Directed by Neil Marshall, the film was released in 2019. Hellboy The film was criticized by fans as an unfaithful and poorly made remake. Taylor now says his new film shouldn't be compared to previous releases for one major reason.
Speaking to Total Film, Brian Taylor said that both del Toro and Marshall's versions of Hellboy She was a far cry from the character in Mike Mignola's beloved comics.Director Mignola has described his new version, played by Jack Kesey, as the most faithful to date. The director also said that Labels like “reboot” and “remake” diminish the impact of the film as an individual piece of art, As these terms indicate a greater privileged influence. He explained:
“I don’t think of it in terms of a ‘reboot’ or trying to start a new franchise – this isn’t content, it’s a movie that needs to stand on its own. Nobody wants to see a cheap remake of a $100 million Guillermo del Toro movie. This goes back to the young Hellboy where he was really more than just a plumber who would fix a monster problem. This is this wandering, sarcastic, emotional, chain-smoking guy who stumbles upon ghosts and supernatural events and helps out as much as he can. If Mike feels like he’s seeing his man on screen for the first time, then I feel like we’ve succeeded.”
