The second trailer for Hellboy is here. The movie is a reboot of Guillermo Del Toro’s action fantasy series, based on Mike Mignola’s comic books. Stranger Things star David Harbour plays the titular demonic hero, and the movie hits theaters in April.

December’s first trailer suggested that the film would be more comedic than many fans were expecting, but this new Red Band promo delivers the dark, violent goods. It’s packed with gore, bad language, and apocalyptic action, and also reveals Milla Jovovich’s evil Blood Queen for the first time. Which isn’t to say it’s not funny too–this Hellboy is still a wise-cracking badass. Check it out above.

Hellboy releases on April 12, 2019. It also stars Ian McShane as Professor Broom, Sasha Lane as Alice Monaghan, and Daniel Dae Kim as Ben Daimo. Marshall is best known for his work on Game of Thrones and the recent Netflix show Lost in Space, plus movies like Doomsday and The Descent.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Harbour explained that the movie isn’t an origin story–as when the film starts, Hellboy is already working for the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Development. “It’s not an origin story, but it’s his coming to terms with where he came from,” he said. “He’s been Hellboy for a long time, but there’s a new turn of events at the start of the film, where people start to bring up the fact that he might bring about the end of the world, and it’s really the first time he’s heard anything like that. The question that comes up in the movie is where does he really belong?”

Horizon Zero Dawn launched two years ago today, and it’s done quite well in that time. In a blog post celebrating the milestone, Guerrilla Games managing director Hermen Hulst revealed that the game has now sold “well over” 10 million copies worldwide.

“The idea that we were able to bring Aloy’s journey to so many players is astounding,” he said. “We’e been deeply moved by the enormous amount of fan creations you’ve posted online, as well as the heartfelt letters you’ve sent sharing your favorite moments from Aloy’s journey.”

This figure likely includes copies of the game purchased outright and those included in PS4 hardware bundles.

Horizon Zero Dawn was something new for Guerrilla, which up until that point had been best known for its Killzone shooter series. Given the commercial success of Horizon Zero Dawn, a sequel would seemingly make sense for business reasons. No announcements have been made, but Hulst previously teased that Aloy might have more stories to tell and secrets to uncover beyond the main game and its Frozen Wilds expansion.

“She’s really uncovered some of the main mysteries in the world, but how do you feel when you finish the story? Are there questions that come up that you want to answer for Aloy?” Hulst told GamesRadar. It was not difficult for us to build the Frozen Wilds and tell that story through Aloy. The environments and the world that we’ve put together easily raise more questions, so it feels pretty rich to us, but that’s all I can say about that for now.”

Here at GameSpot, we’re very excited for the possibilities of what a Horizon Zero Dawn 2 could deliver if Guerrilla decides to make it.

Also in the blog post, Hulst shared some “peculiar details” about the developer of Horizon Zero Dawn. Here are some of the highlights:

• They used the model for Killzone 3‘s Jammer as a stand-in for Aloy in the game’s early stages because her character model was still being developed.
• Guerrilla’s Jochen Willemensen got the flu during development. While recovering at home he saw a movie starring Hannah Hoekstra, and used her face as a model for Aloy’s.
• Baby Aloy was voiced by an actual baby. Guerrilla’s music supervisor Lucas van Tol captured his daughter’s voice and sounds by setting up a recording area near her playpen.
• Tol researched 750 bird sounds for the game and only 30 made the cut.

Following reports yesterday about Bond 25’s casting, including word that Rami Malek remains a top choice to play the villain, now comes another report that has some intriguing casting details.

Deadline reports that Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years A Slave, Star Wars) is in talks to join the Cary Fukunaga-directed action movie. Nyong’o also appeared in the Oscar-winning Black Panther and is set to have a role in Jordan Peele’s eerie new film Us.

If Nyong’o does join Bond 25, she’ll be at least the second Oscar-winner on the call sheet. Malek just won the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. Nyong’o won her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for 2012’s 12 Years A Slave.

What is confirmed about Bond 25 is that Daniel Craig will be back to play Bond again, and for the last time. We also know that Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, and Lea Seydoux are coming back to reprise their roles. The movie will reportedly add Billy Magnussen (The Many Saints of Newark, The Big Short, in a role said to be similar to the American CIA agent likened to Jeffrey Wright’s character in previous movies.

Bond 25 is scheduled to start shooting sometime this Spring and hit theatres in April 2020.

2015’s Spectre is the latest James Bond film. It was a gigantic commercial success, making around $880 million worldwide at the box office.

Finally, there’s Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, which takes place four years after Metal Gear Solid 4 and puts players in control of a cybernetically enhanced Raiden.
