As Hellboy prepares to make his big screen comeback, star David Harbour revealed a very odd and tragic fact about the character's sex life. Harbour discussed how different this version of the character would be from his previous incarnation, especially regarding his potential for love.

"I mean, he is destined to be the beast of the apocalypse," Harbour told JoBlo.com. "And I think one of our goals is to justify the temptations of that destiny in terms of the creation of a world, where you know, as a demon, he might be accepted, and as a monster, he might be accepted, that he doesn't feel in this world. The other thing that we explore somewhat is -- I mean, one of the interesting things to me about the Guillermo del Toro movies was that he had like a love interest, right? And she was like a fire starter, and but I just think that Hellboy can't have a human being. He probably can't have sex with a human being because it would probably end disastrously, because of his demonic parts or whatever."

"So I feel like what I wanted to explore was that loneliness, and you know, there's the temptations that you have to, if you do create a darker world as the beast of the apocalypse, you can have sex,” Harbour continued. "You can have a girlfriend. You can live your life. But to live in the human world and to protect humanity, you have to sacrifice some of your nature, and your actual nature, as opposed to this concept of destiny, just that your actual nature somewhat gets sacrificed."

While superheroes aren't exactly known for having stable romances, it seems the upcoming film will explore how being a supernatural superhero impacts Hellboy's love life. However, given what Hellboy will have to deal with in his cinematic return, sex might be the least of his worries.
