GDT talks Hellboy 2

Last Updated on July 27, 2021

I guess the headline should be “GDT writes about Hellboy 2” but that just doesn’t sound as good. Anyways, the official website of Guillermo Del Toro has gotten the man himself to post a message on their forums updating the casting situation for HELL BOY 2. Here is what the director posted: “John Hurt is back for a cameo.
Myers is not back (see Rupie in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN in the London stage!!).
Universal has NOT authorized a brief Kroenen cameo/ epilogue- yet.
Johann will be played by John Alexander (body) and Tomas Kretschmann (voice).
Dougie will play 4 characters.
Brian Steele will play 4 characters.
Anna Walton is the actress playing Princess Nuala.
Luke Goss plays Prince Nuada. Silverlance.
Roy Dotrice plays King Balor”

Del Toro also added this bit of info: “The names of the characters come from the Tuatha Dé Danann but their function and characteristics in the film (the characters being of Elvish lineage) is completely different.”

You gotta love it when people are good to their official websites!
