Mike Mignola, who writes and draws comics, made the character Hellboy, who is very popular. As a half-demon, he is known for his supernatural adventures where he fights bad creatures to save the world. “The Crooked Man,” which is about his meeting with a scary Appalachian witch, is one of Hellboy’s most interesting stories.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for the animated movie version of this story, which looks like it will bring the story to life in a spectacular way. So, when can we look forward to seeing “Hellboy: The Crooked Man”? Let’s find out.
Hellboy the Crooked Man Release Date
We don’t yet have a firm release date or window for Hellboy: The Crooked Man, even though we are aware that filming will start in April. The new Hellboy version is probably going to debut around the holidays in 2023 or later in 2024.

Hellboy the Crooked Man Plot
The Crooked Man, a remake of the same-titled fan-favorite tale that ran from July 2008 to September 2008, follows Hellboy as he becomes friends with an ex-witch named Tom Ferell while traversing the Appalachian Mountains.
The two must also contend with deformed cannibals who are hidden in coal mines, demonic, savage animals, and the mysterious, always changing in appearance Crooked Man, whose real name is Jeremiah Witkins, as they attempt to transport his deceased father’s body, which has been magically transformed into a horse carcass, to a church that is perilously stationed within a devil’s domain.
Mr. Witkins was long ago put to death for illegal war profiteering, but he has since escaped Hell and intends to live here forever. Hardcore comic book readers instantly notice that this rendition will be more authentic to Hellboy’s printed universe and loyal to the characters shown within the colorized panels than the previous live-action adaptations.
Although we can only assume that The Crooked Man movie adaptation closely follows the initial comic narrative, the script was produced and polished under Chris Golden’s guidance, a senior author at Dark Horse Comics (the creator behind numerous Buffy The Vampire Slayer and X-Men tie-in comics too).
What Are the Comic Origins of Hellboy: The Crooked Man?
Brian Taylor revealed some information on the upcoming production, including how he’s aiming for fidelity to the original Hellboy comic of the same name, in a brief interview with Collider’s own Steve Weintraub shortly after the movie’s announcement. Considering that the popular comic is unquestionably one of Mike Mignola’s best contributions to the series, the decision was wise.
The Crooked Man is a historical piece set in the late 1950s that mostly takes place in the lonely Appalachian Mountains, which immediately highlights the film’s singularity. A woman who has been hurt due to some form of witchcraft or curse is discovered by Hellboy there.
When local vagrant Tom Ferrell shows up and claims to know where this black magic comes from, the mystery only gets more complicated. The team of Hellboy and Tom Ferrell learns that the Crooked Man, a former tax collector who evaded the hangman’s noose and later transformed into a soul collector working for the Devil, is the real threat in Appalachia. The adventure that comes next is one of Hellboy’s most frightening ones ever, full of terrifying images and unexpected turns.

Hellboy the Crooked Man – The Cast & Crew
Although conversations with potential cast members are in their last stages, according to an exclusive story from Deadline regarding the future film, no real names have been confirmed or refused. David Harbour should avoid the position because he was previously associated with the most recent, horribly received live-action adaptation of Hellboy and because he played the title character.
About the production team for Hellboy: The Crooked Man, we have a lot of information. The movie will be produced by an American production company named Millennium Media, which holds the cinematic rights to the Dark Horse comic book character since 2018. Mr. Taylor will also be directing.
The Hitman’s Bodyguard, starring Selma Hayek, and The Expendables, featuring Sylvester Stallone, are two of Millennium’s most well-known film series. Campbell Grobman Productions and Nu Boyana Studios will work together to bring this long-awaited vision to life as Bulgarian filming gets underway next month.
