Lionsgate has brought the Hellboy franchise back from the dead.

The studio on Wednesday released the first official trailer for the new reboot, which stars Stranger Things' David Harbour as the titular half-demon superhero. It goes all in on the comedy and doesn't look to be taking itself seriously at all, with lots of one-liners and with the cheeky tagline, "Save the world just for the hell of it." The upbeat trailer features plenty of monster fighting as well, and it's all set to Billy Idol’s "Mony Mony."
