I like what they're doing - the previous films went big with sprawling high stakes adventures, whereas this gets back to the feel of a lot of the comics where Hellboy rocks up somewhere to combat some evil menace. If this approach works (smaller budget quicker turnaround - shooting started in March 2023) they could make a more sustainable franchise building up to something big. The team also looks solid - the director of Crank with Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden co-writing. So I feel pretty optimistic.
