If I am not mistaken there was an online rumor about this already, I just can’t remember where. However, The Hollywood Reporter now confirms for us that Luke Goss will be joining Guillermo del Toro‘s Hellboy 2: The Golden Army over at Universal Pictures.
The film reunites the first movie’s principals — Ron Perlman as Hellboy, Selma Blair as Liz Sherman and both David Hyde Pierce and Doug Jones as Abe Sapien — for a supernatural action-adventure that sees the world of myth rebelling against humanity. Goss will play Prince Nuada, a ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below, defying his bloodline to awaken an unstoppable army of creatures.
The only thing that strikes me as odd in the info above is that Guillermo told the 2006 Comic Con audience that Doug Jones would be voicing Abe Sapien this time around. Perhaps Universal stopped that one or this is wrong info.
Who cares though, filming is scheduled to begin in June in Budapest for an Aug. 1, 2008, release.
