Guillermo del Toro will return to direct Hellboy 2, which is set for a summer 2008 bow. Filming is slated to commence this April in Budapest and London.
Also returning for the sequel are stars Ron Perlman and Selma Blair as Hellboy and his love interest Liz, respectively.
The sequel will expand the world of Hellboy and surround him with characters both new and familiar as he confronts a deadly threat to mankind.
The film's producers are Lawrence Gordon, Mike Richardson, Lloyd Levin and Joe Roth. Hellboy creator Mike Mignola will serve as a co-producer, while Chris Kenney is exec producer.
