According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ian McShane has been cast to play Professor Broom, the scientist who adopts the titular demon child, in the Neil Marshall reboot of 'Hellboy'. The part of Professor Broom was originally brought to life by the late John Hurt in the Ron Perlman movies 'Hellboy' and 'Hellboy 2: The Golden Army'. Ron Perlman is not set to reprise his role as the demonic anti-hero in 'Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen', but 'Stranger Things' star David Harbour is on board for the titular role in the reboot. Harbour recently revealed the film is set to begin shooting this September.
