Plot

Hellboy 2 (2026) picks up the thrilling story of the half-demon, half-human hero Hellboy (David Harbour), as he once again finds himself at the center of an ancient battle between the forces of darkness and light. After the events of the first film, Hellboy has become more comfortable with his powers and his role as a supernatural agent for the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.). But just when he thought he could have a peaceful existence with his partner Liz (Milla Jovovich), a terrifying new force emerges.

A long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces, foretelling the rise of a dark kingdom that threatens to consume both the human and supernatural worlds. Hellboy must journey into an underground realm where mythical creatures, ancient gods, and dangerous spirits rule. Alongside his loyal team, including the wise and powerful Abe Sapien (Doug Jones), Hellboy faces increasingly monstrous foes, each one tied to an ancient curse that dates back to the dawn of civilization.

As the battle intensifies, Hellboy grapples with his true origins and the nature of his destiny. An enigmatic figure, The Pale King, emerges as a potential ally, but his own dark motives complicate the situation. Hellboy must face difficult choices that challenge his identity and whether he is truly meant to save humanity—or destroy it. The stakes are raised as Hellboy confronts not just powerful enemies, but the very nature of his existence, forcing him to choose between the world of humans and the supernatural forces that seek to control it.
