As pre-production on the Hellboy reboot ramps up ahead of filming later this year, the film has made yet another cast addition. The latest actress to join, per The Hollywood Reporter, is American Honey’s Sasha Lane, taking the role of Alice Monaghan in the film.
In the Hellboy comics, Alice Monaghan was a baby when she was kidnapped by fairies and then rescued by Hellboy. Due to her time with the fairies, Alice retained some magical abilities and met Hellboy again as she grew up. Though she was also in her early 50s, she showed little sign of aging thanks to the fairies’ magic.
According to Splash Report, the movie will also feature Abe Sapien and Major Ben Daimio of the B.P.R.D., Gruagach, Baba Yaga and King Arthur and Merlin. Expect more casting news soon.
Stranger Things‘ David Harbour will star as the titular hero with Neil Marshall (Game of Thrones) directing. Also joining Harbour and Lane are Resident Evil‘s Milla Jovovich as the Blood Queen and American Gods‘ Ian McShane as Professor Trevor Bruttenhome, the man who raised Hellboy. Hellboy is written by Andrew Cosby and Christopher Golden and is said to begin production in September for release in 2018.
