Whatever one thinks about the three live-action Hellboy movies, they had fan-favorite actors playing the brick-handed hero. Ron Perlman will probably always be associated with the character, and for completely different reasons, so will David Harbour. They are both well-known actors. Well, they’re going in a different direction with this latest Hellboy film, The Crooked Man, by casting a relatively-unknown star.
Millennium Media has announced that Jack Kesy will play Hellboy in The Crooked Man. Kesy is best known for his role as Black Tom Cassidy in Deadpool 2, as well as for roles in 12 Strong and The Outpost, one of the best movies of 2020 and a big reason why he was chosen…
“Jack Kesy is a dynamic actor who has the ability to morph into his roles. His talent and stature are perfect for this younger Hellboy. I was very impressed with him while working together on “The Outpost”, said Millennium co-president Jonathan Yunger.
Hellboy: The Crooked Man will be directed by Brian Taylor (Crank), with a script by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and Chris Golden. Kesy is about to get very popular very quickly.
