Description Genre icon Ron Perlman returns to the comic book character Hellboy with this sequel from visionary director Guillermo Del Toro (PAN'S LABYRINTH, THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE). In HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY, the red-skinned demon hero must face off against a new nemesis called 'the Prince' (former Bros member Luke Goss), a dastardly villain who is hellbent on summoning an army of dark forces in order to create a rebellion against humanity and conquer the planet. Aided by his fellow mutants Liz Sherman (Selma Blair) and Abe Sapien (Doug Jones), Hellboy is Earth's only hope against it succumbing to the evil Prince's wicked plan.
