Luke Goss is rejoining director Guillermo del Toro for Universal Pictures' Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie 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, the trade paper reported.

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. Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola wrote the script. Filming is scheduled to begin in June in Budapest for an Aug. 1, 2008, release.

Goss previously worked with del Toro on Blade II, in which he played the villainous vampire Nomak.
