9 Upcoming 2019 Movie Performances That Will Blow You Away

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.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
