According to THR, American Gods star Ian McShane has joined the cast of Neil Marshall's Hellboy reboot as a character who will be very familiar to fans of Mike Mignola's much-loved comic book series.

The veteran Deadwood actor will play the horned hero's adoptive father, Professor Broom, who was previously brought to life by the late John Hurt in Guillermo del Toro's original movie. He joins Stranger Things' David Harbour as a new incarnation of Hellboy.

Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen doesn't have a release date yet, but we do know that it'll be a R-rated adaptation that will focus on Anung Un Rama squaring off against a medieval sorceress who seeks to destroy humankind.

The reboot is scheduled to begin production in The UK and Bulgaria next month.
