HELLBOY Reboot Adds HEMLOCK GROVE Actress Penelope Mitchell As Ganeida The Witch
The latest cast member for Neil Marshall's upcoming Hellboy reboot is Hemlock Grove and Between Worlds actress Penelope Mitchell, who will play a minor character from the comics, Ganeida the witch...
We recently found out that Deadpool actor Ed Skrein had vacated the role of Major Ben Daimio in The Hellboy reboot following accusations of whitewashing, but the casting for Neil Marshall's movie rolls on.
According to Deadline, the most recent addition is 26-year-old Aussie actress Penelope Mitchell (Hemlock Grove, Zipper, Curve), who will play Ganeida. A relatively minor player in the source material, this take on the character is described as "an elder witch who has decided that Nimue’s [The Blood Queen] wrath has gone on for too long and must be stopped."
Hellboy is set to commence shooting soon and is scheduled for a 2018 release.
