In recent interviews, Marshall has been open in why he has decided to change up the tone on the reboot for a more adult themed movie.

“We can make the movie we want to make,” he said. “It’s not like I’m going to force it to be R-rated, but if it happens to come out that way, just because of my own sensibilities, then fine. And nobody’s going to stop us”.

Hellboy creator, Mike Mignola has also been opening up about Marshall’s vision for the reboot;

I was a fan of his, and when he came onboard, I thought it was terrific: now it’s really going to be an action-horror film. It’s not that we want to wallow in blood, but when you do a PG-13 rating, you bang your head into rules about how intense certain things can be.

I think it helps that Deadpool and Logan were R-rated, and what I’ve been telling people is that the tone of it will be much more the Logan approach: lean, dark, tough, and not something that stops to show limbs flying through the air.

Directed by Doomsday’s Neil Marshall, Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen is penned by Andrew Cosby, Mike Mignola, and Christopher Golden. Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin are set to produce the film which goes into production in September.
