He looks amazing but fuck man, this just hit me really hard. Ron was so passionate about the role and he was perfect for it, David has so much to live up to to even come within an inch of Perlman.

Wait, that is actually his body and not CG or a suit? Damn.
I mean, it looks like Hellboy.
What else is it supposed to look like?
Less bulk up. Look at his left arm
Dude does not even look that he NEED the right hand of doom =P

I understand now.
As much as I really love Ron Pearlman (one of my favorite actors), Harbour has some serious acting chops, he'll be just fine. Just have to hope the script is good

He looks exactly like Hellboy. Perfect!
I sure hope the script is good. They have a lot of comic material to draw from thankfully.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Weaving did such an amazing job there. It's so easy for a performance like that to come off as goofy. Cause there is a coldness to just looking at a mask, but he really brought warmth to the character. It takes chops to cross that gap. Weaving can do anything though, he was my favorite part of Hacksaw Ridge.

The face prosthetics reminds me of the Uruk-hai captain from Fellowship more so than Pearlman's Hellboy. Or somewhere in between.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Looks fucking terrifying

Lol not all his real body. Look at the traps on the neck. Some of it is prothetic . Just a really amazing job by their make up/practical effects team.

Apparently these prosthetics look pretty different depending on the angle you shoot & light em at.
Because the black & white shot doesn't look all that much like the full-color one we just pored over.

The b&w one looks like a cross between Danzig and David Naughton mid transformation in An American Werewolf in London.

Hard to judge the b&w since it looks like the staircase is more in focus.

the right hand kinda looks like it is made to look like iron rather than stone doesn't it?
Agreed.
Makes me think that the overall look of David Harbour's Hellboy is going to fully come together in post-production, which is what I expected.

Looks awesome

I need to see it in motion, but I think I already prefer this to Pearlman's version visually. Harbour looks fucking scary here.

Yeah, the brow is way more pronounced in the b&w version.

Nice upgrade from Hawaii Five-O. Of course, he will still be getting those syndication checks from that. Good for Daniel.

I fucks with the Mignola inspired lighting in the promo shot.
It would be pretty interesting if they attempt to shoot the whole film with heavy contrasted lighting like that.

Is there anything this doesn't apply to?

A perfect sphere!
Need a better look at the right hand.
Those aren't realistic proportions anyway. Comic Hellboy is simultaneously very slim/lean and bulky. It really depends on the scene and if Mignola wants to emphasize the animal-like aspect of his anatomy or the human aspect.

I mean, yeah?
I can see how it seems like I stated a super-obvious thing but those two pictures are fairly different looking, in a way that goes beyond the basic "oh, I shot from above and slapped an insta filter on it" kinda different.
Basically, I shoulda put italics (hey now!) around "pretty" in that sentence to set off just how different the lighting and the angle have made the makeup job look.

lol. Perfect.
Winona for Liz please!!
I would not object to Winona playing Kate Corrigan.
Ok, that makes more sense. Hard to tell nowadays with so much money and drugs running through Hollywood

Hm, I'm not seeing it, am I looking at the right picture, the one with the coat?
