Queen Nimue wants Hellboy to be her King in new clip from the reboot

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

When the powerful and ancient medieval British sorceress known as Queen Nimue (Milla Jovovich) decides to take her revenge on humanity, there are few who can stand in her way, except perhaps for Hellboy (David Harbour). However, as the latest clip for the upcoming HELLBOY reboot shows, Nimue may have other plans for the paranormal investigator.

Our own Paul Shirey visited the set of HELLBOY last year, so be sure to check out his interviews with star David Harbour and director Neil Marshall, as well as a rundown of everything he learned from the set. As far as Milla Jovovich's Blood Queen goes, Marshall told Shirey that although they did consider other Hellboy villains, they wanted a female adversary who could kick the shit out of Hellboy. "[We] eventually came back to the Blood Queen as a great kind of opponent or nemesis for Hellboy in this particular story. And I think also for us just like having a female villain just felt good. It felt right and it was good that this woman comes along and kicks the shit out of Hellboy," Marshall said.

The official synopsis for HELLBOY:

Hellboy is back, and he’s on fire. From the pages of Mike Mignola’s seminal work, this action packed story sees the legendary half-demon superhero (David Harbour, “Stranger Things”) called to the English countryside to battle a trio of rampaging giants. There he discovers The Blood Queen, Nimue (Milla Jovovich, Resident Evil series), a resurrected ancient sorceress thirsting to avenge a past betrayal. Suddenly caught in a clash between the supernatural and the human, Hellboy is now hell-bent on stopping Nimue without triggering the end of the world.

HELLBOY will hit theaters on April 12, 2019.
