As the Hellboy reboot continues to assemble its cast, the film has added Ed Skrein to its ranks.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, the Deadpool actor has landed the role of Major Ben Daimio – a character described as “a rugged military member of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense who, due to a supernatural encounter, can turn into a jaguar when angered or in pain.”

Already on board for Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen are David Harbour as the titular Big Red, Ian McShane as Professor Broom, Sasha Lane as love interest Alice Monaghan, and Milla Jovovich as the villainous Blood Queen. Genre fave Neil Marshall is on board to direct.
