The Hellboy reboot starring David Harbour is unlikely to get a sequel, according to actor David Harbour who plays the title character. Speaking to GameSpot sister site ComicBook, Harbour said he`s heard from a lot of people who really enjoyed the film. However, the `culture at large` did not seem to generally enjoy the action movie, he said.`I don`t think there`ll be much of a light,` Harbour said about a potential sequel.Not only that, but Harbour remarked that Hellboy didn`t make a lot of money. The movie, which was reportedly developed on a $50 million budget, bombed in the US/Canada, where it opened to only $12 million. Worldwide, the film made $46 million.`I don`t think it made a lot of money,` Harbour said. `I don`t really keep up with those things too much to be honest, but I don`t think the perception was that it was a hit, and so in that way, I don`t know that the risk is worth it [for a sequel]. I think the idea is to move on. The producers spoke to me just saying, `Great job,` they really liked what I did, but I haven`t heard anything about a sequel, and I`m not hanging my hat on anything like that.`2019`s Hellboy was a reboot of sorts for the series that began in 2004. The first movie was directed by Guillermo del Toro and starred Ron Perlman as Hellboy. A sequel, The Golden Army, was released in 2008, also starring Perlman and directed by del Toro.There were reports that Hellboy suffered from a number of behind-the-scenes problems, including fights between producers and director Neil Marshall, and Harbour not being cooperative.Hellboy also stars Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Daniel Dae Kim, Sasha Lane, and Thomas Haden Church.
