As suspected, the Hellboy trailer has been unleashed at this weekend’s New York Comic-Con, but unfortunately it hasn’t been released online.
While we wait, here are some reactions via Twitter, which happens to include audio that has leaked online:
I’ll say this is, the images we saw of @DavidKHarbour as #Hellboy are not photoshopped. That dude got ripped for real. Several months of heavy weight lifting #NYCC18 pic.twitter.com/OsQsvVRPDJ

David Harbour says the biggest fear is people comparing the new #Hellboy movie to the previous movies. He says he understands what he’s up against, but hopes people love his version of Hellboy and the movie. #NYCC2018

Also, the song used in the trailer was Mony Mony by Billy Idol. #Hellboy @HellboyMovie @trailertrack

You’re going to absolutely love this movie. It is in no way trying to copy what Perlman did. It is it’s own thing and I think everyone is going to be really pleased with this version. mulch darker for sure #HellBoy #NYCC18 pic.twitter.com/pjHOqvKehP

“I was nervous because @perlmutations performance is very iconic. I love what he did, he’s a great #Hellboy.” – @DavidKHarbour on stepping into the role and making it different from what came before it.@HellboyMovie @Lionsgate #NYCC #NYCC2017 #Hellboymovie

David Harbour wants to spoil something SO BAD as it relates to the BPRD and other #Hellboy characters appearing. And does drop a hint… #NYCC pic.twitter.com/xfV5yFwYeO

Harbour “wanted to feel powerful and look powerful” and did three months of lifting. His trainer calls out “he’s a beast!” #Hellboy #NYCC #NYCC2018

Just saw the first trailer for the new #Hellboy—footage looks great. Very funny. Harbour definitely puts a unique, more humorous spin on the character. Final shot of the trailer got huge applause. #NYCC

HOLY CRAP! THE #HELLBOY TRAILER IS AWESOME!!!! The tone is very fun, and action packed! The visuals are very crisp and much different the. The Del Toro films, but really looks like a good time! Harbour fits the roll great, and I am excited to see the film!

#Hellboy footage is a LOT of fun. Great worldbuilding, Harbour looks great, tone still has a sense of humor, and there is no shortage of monsters and Mignola-esque elements. #NYCC #NYCC2018
