Hellboy: Breaking Down How That Ending Could Set up a Sequel (Spoilers!)
With the Hellboy reboot now in its second weekend of release, let's explore how its ending sets up a sequel ... although judging from the movie's poor box office performance its opening weekend that now seems a remote possibility.
Full spoilers continue below for Hellboy! Check out IGN's review of Hellboy here.
The rebooted Hellboy may be pretty unfamiliar territory for fans of Del Toro's original duology -- not just because this new R-rated take on the character relishes in all the gore and profanity it can possibly fit into a 120-minute runtime, but because the ensemble cast around Hellboy himself has been dramatically shuffled around. Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien have been swapped out for Alice Monaghan and Ben Daimio -- at least, for now.

Who Is Katie Bouman, the Woman Behind the First Black Hole Photo?
In 2016, Katie Bouman, a then-Ph.D. candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, presented a TEDx Talk on how to take a picture of a black hole, outlining a method that uses complex algorithms to accurately reconstruct images from far, far away. Now, three years later, mankind has its first-ever image of a black hole, thanks to those same algorithms developed by Bouman and her team.
The image, released yesterday by the Event Horizon Telescope project, provides the "first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow." It's an image years in the making — one that required a global network of eight telescopes and an international team of over 200 astronomers, physicists, mathematicians, and engineers.
