A well-known anti-hero, who has a new movie releasing next week, now has a fresh collectible figure. The official Instagram page of Iron Studios has shown the first images of a new Hellboy figure, modeled after Ron Perlman’s appearance in 2008’s Hellboy 2: The Golden Army.
This figure shows Hellboy holding his famous weapon, The Good Samaritan, in one hand, with his other arm resting at his side.
He wears his signature trench coat and has his distinct stone hand hanging beside him. The figure is not yet available for sale or pre-order. However, Iron Studios confirmed that it will be listed soon on their official website, with the price to be announced later.
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army features not only Ron Perlman but also stars Doug Jones, Seth MacFarlane, Jeffrey Tambor, and John Alexander. The film centers on a prince from the mythical world who begins a rebellion against humans in an attempt to take over the Earth.

Hellboy, along with his allies, must work together to stop him from finding the powerful Golden Army. Hellboy 2 was directed by the highly respected Guillermo del Toro, who has won three Academy Awards in his career. His most recent win came from directing Pinocchio.
He also received Oscars in 2018 for The Shape of Water, a fantasy romance starring Sally Hawkins and Michael Shannon. Del Toro’s first Oscar nomination was for writing Pan’s Labyrinth in 2006, a coming-of-age story.

The sequel to Constantine is finally moving forward, two years after its announcement. In a recent interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura confirmed that the script for Constantine 2 is finished. He has not read it yet but plans to do so soon.
He said, “Akiva Goldsman wrote it, and I am super excited. I’m going to read it this weekend.” During a panel at SDCC, Goldsman also confirmed that he was working on the script.
Fans have eagerly awaited the sequel since Warner Bros. announced it in 2022. Keanu Reeves will return to play the main character again.
The original 2005 movie, directed by Francis Lawrence, gained a loyal fanbase. This sequel will be an R-rated film, finding the supernatural world with Reeves as the demon-fighting exorcist.
The project faced some delays due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, but now that the script is complete, it shows important progress for the movie. Di Bonaventura praised Goldsman for his hard work, which raises hopes for fans of the original film.
The first Constantine movie follows John Constantine, an exorcist who sees supernatural beings. He helps LAPD detective Angela Dodson, played by Rachel Weisz, investigate her twin sister’s suspected suicide. Together, they discover a plot by demons to enter the human world.

The film includes religious themes, action, and horror elements. It features Tilda Swinton as Gabriel, Djimon Hounsou as Papa Midnite, Peter Stormare as Lucifer, Gavin Rossdale as Balthazar, and a young Shia LaBeouf as Chas Kramer, Constantine’s friend and driver.
Directed by Lawrence, the original movie received mixed reviews for changing details from the source material, which is based on the Hellblazer comics.
However, Reeves’ performance and the film’s dark atmosphere received praise. It earned over $230 million worldwide on a $100 million budget, marking it as a moderate success.
While the storyline for the sequel remains a secret, fans are excited about Reeves and Lawrence returning to continue their story. With the script done, more updates about Constantine 2 will come soon, as fans look forward to its release.
