Is Hellboy: The Crooked Man going to overstay its welcome? The rumored runtime for the upcoming reboot has left some fans scratching their heads.
The internet has not been kind to Hellboy: The Crooked Man. The first trailer for the highly-anticipated reboot was torn to shreds online. A large mockery has been made of how cheap the project feels, especially when it comes to the makeup worn by the lead actor, Jack Kesy.
However, some fans held hope in their hearts. While the trailer may look like it cut some corners, there was a hope that this meant the budget was spent on creating a beefy reboot that managed to deliver on everything the last Hellboy film was missing. However, the final runtime for Hellboy: The Crooked Man only seemed to further perplex.
Hellboy: The Crooked Man Breaks Runtime Records
The runtime for Hellboy: The Crooked Man has found its way online through the account Cryptic4KQual on Twitter/X, who has a long history of correctly revealing the lengths of superhero projects. According to the scooper, the upcoming reboot has a scant runtime of only 1 hour and 39 minutes, the shortest of any Hellboy movie to date.
Now that it’s been revealed that Hellboy: The Crooked Man will have a shorter runtime and cheaper effects than prior attempts at the hero, some fans wonder what the point of this reboot even is. However, given the creator’s aspirations to go back to the indie horror roots of Hellboy, this controversial take on the character may be on purpose.
