I guess Doug Jones can’t be too mad that his voice got the axe from the new FF movie since he gets to play not one, not two, but three characters in the next HELLBOY film. In addition to reprising his role of Abe Sapien, Jones will also play The Chamberlain and The Angel of Death.
Jones had this to say on his work load: “These are going to be good, yummy things for me to delve my attention into now,” said Jones. “I leave in one week and we start filming at the beginning of June so I have a couple weeks of rehearsal. I’ve got some intense rehearsal actually. I have to learn some fighting skills now.” Jones also chimed in about his experiences while being restricted to a water tank and dressed in that super tight rubber suit. “There’s physical barriers with any part like that where you’re covered with makeup and when you’re in a rubbery suit that wants to spring back to one position, the position it was made in, it’s like a Boflex where you have use a certain muscle group to get through that and make him look organic. But I have to make that a part of my being and my physicality and again, acting is a full body experience and that’s a part of it when you’re doing a costumed character.”
