Hellboy Easter Eggs
Dark Horse

One of the most interesting things about the decisions the filmmakers made when adapting Hellboy - aside from the drama of the production itself - is the exclusion of Rasputin. Aside from the initial reference to him being responsible for the idea to summon Hellboy is the first place, he's never brought up.

As it is, there appears to be no intention to bring Rasputin into the film canon, which should make for an interesting absence - given he is one of the comic franchise's most major villains.
