Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen - Milla Jovovich to Play Villain
She’s battled the undead in the Resident Evil franchise but now Milla Jovovich is swapping good for evil as she plays the big bad in Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen.
The Hellboy reboot sees Doomsday director Neil Marshall step behind the camera with Stranger Things David Harbour taking over as the giant-fisted demon as he and his colleagues (including adoptive father Professor Broom, to be played by Ian McShane), battle the nefarious Blood Queen, a medieval sorceress with plans to destroy the world.
According to Deadline, Marshall will be working from a script that’s currently been rewritten by Andrew Cosby who is working from a previous draft by Christopher Golden and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and Aron Coleite – with Marshall looking to kick off shooting this September in Bulgaria and the UK.
Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen will emerge in cinemas in 2018.
