Hellboy Reboot: 8 Things We Want From The Big Red Revival

It still hurts to think we'll never get to see what Del Toro had planned for Hellboy. Who didn't want to see him journey to the depths of hell to confront his destiny?

Nevertheless, with the reboot in the pipeline, there could be some fire and brimstone in the unholy hero's future.

If nothing else, sending Hellboy to hell presents the opportunity for the film to deliver some striking Dante Alighieri-esque visuals and differentiate its backdrop.

Perhaps it's too soon to have Red face up to his Beast of the Apocalypse duties, but a sequence or two depicting eternal damnation would be a welcome inclusion. Does wanting that so badly make us morbid?

This scenario played out in the recent Hellboy in Hell series, giving the character the endgame he was denied on celluloid.
