After the success of Fox’s R-rated Deadpool and Logan films, it was only a matter of time before other studios would follow. And what’s a better candidate for the treatment than Hellboy? Although many fans are upset that the new film will be a reboot, it does seem to have promise thanks to its restricted rating.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has played a variety of characters over the last several decades, but none will be as memorable as the characters he played in the 1980s. The most famous of which is, arguably, the Terminator from the film of the same name. When the movie made its debut in 1984, Arnold helped captivate and shock audiences worldwide with his performance. He didn’t only look the part, but he acted so superbly at it. He truly was the cold blooded killer known as the Terminator, and his part in the sequel from 1991 only made him even more iconic. But…

It looks like another Spider-Man: Homecoming suit has possibly been revealed. A Redditor posted an all-new image depicting a “Tech Suit” labeled action figure based on the iconic superhero. Its suit boasts a light blue color scheme. Also interesting to note is the webbing the action figure comes with, which has a dark grey color to it.
