After the scandal with Ed Skrein, who had joined the cast and then resigned due to the stir that generated due to the character to be played, the site Deadline confirmed a new arrival to the reboot cast of Hellboy, starring David Harbor and directed by Neil Marshall.

This is Penelope Mitchell. The actress, known for her roles as Hemlock Grove and The Vampire Diaries, will play Ganeida, a witch who will try to stop The Blood Queen at all costs, because she thinks her power is too great.

Recall that Milla Jovovich has joined the film as The Blood Queen, the villain of this reboot, as well as the renowned British actor Ian McShane, who will play Trevor Bruttenholm, a.k.a., Professor Broom, the adoptive father of Hellboy.

There is no confirmation from the makers of the film or from Mike Mignola, the creator of the comic book that serves as executive producer, but rumors suggest that Hellboy will hit theaters during the second half of 2018 and filming will begin in mid-September .
