Yesterday, we got an unexpected surprise: Actor Ed Skrein, who had recently been cast in an upcoming Hellboy reboot as Ben Daimio, abandoned the role due to whitewashing concerns rather than offer up any of the defenses we so often hear. Not only that, but in a letter explaining his decision, he specifically called for better casting in his place, and it looks like Lionsgate is going to listen.

Deadpool actor Ed Skrein stepped down from his Hellboy role as the Japanese-American Major Ben Daimio. "It is our responsibility to make moral decisions in difficult times and to give voice to inclusivity," he says.

Ed Skrein, whom you may remember as antagonist Ajax from Deadpool, was just cast as Major Ben Daimio in an upcoming reboot of Hellboy, starring David Harbour as the titular hero. There's ... a bit of a problem with this casting, as Major Daimio is actually supposed to be a Japanese American character.

No matter how many iterations come out of it, this joke will never get old.

Is it still a Hellboy movie if there's no Ron Perlman or Guillermo Del Toro?

Ahead of the Hulu series' premiere (April 26th!), libraries across the country are reportedly all out of copies of the book.

Guillermo del Toro wrote that after all the hopeful meetings and everything, "100% the sequel will not happen."

Buzz about a third Hellboy movie has begun to circulate once more, thanks to the indefatigable Guillermo del Toro.

Guillermo del Toro's assurances last week that we should hold out hope for Pacific Rim 2 gave me a little déjà vu. Not in a bad way, though—the man's resilience is commendable! So, we here at The Mary Sue decided to make a video history of del Toro's past promises and projects—the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

Ron Perlman's single-minded quest to get Hellboy 3 off the ground continues.

In an interview with Digital Spy Ron Perlman spoke briefly about Hellboy 3, announcing that while he had "no news" to share "there's always a chance." When asked if Perlman would consider crowdfunding the film, he replied that he isn't a fan of the idea.

These adorable robots really hate opening doors. And grabbing things. And walking. And, you know, generally staying upright. Just watch and imagine them throwing a tantrum in a grocery store aisle next to you. Frightening, right?

My friends, we are never going to see Natalie Portman as a grown hitwoman taking bloody vengeance on the mafia that failed to protect her mentor and guardian the moment he talked about getting out of the game. We're never going to find out what might have happened if the Goblin King returned decades later. And yes, we're probably never going to see a Hellboy III.

It's been a long week already, and it's only Tuesday. Don't you wish you could pop open an antihero-themed beer named after Lobo or Wolverine and drink all your cares away? (That totally worked for them, right?) But in all seriousness, Butcher Billy's latest graphic design experiment is incredibly apropos to the characters he's working with, who aren't exactly role models but still manage to be everyone's favorite comic characters.

Like most creators, Guillermo del Toro likes to talk about the projects he's working on. But unlike most creators, del Toro works on no less than 2500 projects at once.
