Hellboy Reboot Officially Gets Its R-Rating

February 27, 2019

Talk of Neil Marshall’s Hellboy reboot has always indicated an R-Rating, and now it’s official as the MPAA has given it an “R” for “strong bloody violence and gore throughout, and language.” Unlike Del Toro’s PG-13 adaptation, it seems that Marshall’s creation will be more violent, as promised.
