The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Sasha Lane (American Honey) has been cast as Alice Monaghan in the upcoming Hellboy reboot.
First appearing in Dark Horse comics beginning in 1993, Hellboy is a demon summoned from Hell by the Nazi occultists near the end of World War II. Raised by Professor Trevor Bruttenholm of Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, Hellboy went on to be billed as “The World’s greatest occult detective.” The adventures of the character have been chronicled in countless comics, including his time with the Bureau, his early years as a young boy, and even the time he spent in hell after dying on Earth. The main Hellboy title has also served as a launching pad for other characters and stories, including Abe Sapien, Lobster Johnson, BPRD, Sledgehammer 44 and others!
In the pages of Mignola’s comics, Monaghan first appeared as a baby in the short story “The Corpse,” in which she was kidnapped by fairies and rescued by Hellboy. Later on in the continuity of the series, however, Monaghan appeared again as a grown woman where the two are brought together by fate and thanks to her connection to the fairy world. The pair grow close as well, falling in love as they travel the country side together.
David Harbour (Stranger Things) is set to star as the titular hero in the film, which is slated to begin filming in September. Ian McShane will play Hellboy’s adoptive father, Professor Trevor Bruttenholm (aka Professor Broom), while Milla Jovovich will play the Blood Queen.
Neil Marshall will direct from a script from Andrew Cosby, Christopher Golden and Mike Mignola. Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin will produce with Mike Richardson of Dark Horse Entertainment.
