8. David Harbour As Hellboy (Hellboy)

As disappointing as it was when we heard that Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy 3 would not be moving forward, any fears and doubts people had about the future of the character were put to rest by a single image of David Harbour in full makeup.

The bulging muscles, the popping veins, the battle scars, the intense stare: it's clear that Harbour's Hellboy is going to be very different from Ron Perlman's, with this new iteration feeling like a scarier, more realistic take on the character, one befitting of the movie's R-rating. By taking Hellboy in a more adult direction, Harbour essentially has free reign to be as violent, explosive, intimidating and crazy as he likes, further differentiating himself from Perlman's take and giving us something that feels fresh and exciting.

In A Walk Among The Tombstones, Harbour showed he was capable of delivering an intense performance, and with the strong presence he brings to Chief Hopper in Stranger Things, he's more than equipped to give us a spectacular acting display when Hellboy releases next year.
