Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024) – Ending Explained & Final Scene Breakdown

Still thinking about how Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024) ended? Here’s a full breakdown of the ending, key final moments, major twists, and the deeper meaning behind the film’s conclusion.

Hellboy’s final battle with the Crooked Man culminates in a confrontation where illusions and magic play crucial roles. Hellboy, haunted by vivid hallucinations of his mother—who he never knew—believes she is asking him to end her suffering. However, it turns out to be a trick by the Crooked Man, who was using dark magic to manipulate Hellboy into killing himself. Just as Hellboy is about to succumb to this illusion, Bobbie Jo’s clever use of a spell, recalling a painful memory, shatters the hallucination and reveals the truth. With the Crooked Man weakened by Tom’s use of witch balls, Hellboy finally manages to confront and kill the devil. As he defeats the Crooked Man, his body bursts open, releasing countless coins—the souls he had collected over the years—finally freed from his grasp. Tom also finds peace, as his deal with the devil is broken and he is absolved of his burden, no longer fearing the devil coming for his soul. In the aftermath, Bobbie Jo survives, having captured the spider that had caused the chaos, and Hellboy and Jo walk away from the village, finally able to call for help. The film ends with a hint of romance between Hellboy and Jo, as she snuggles up to him, suggesting their bond has deepened through the ordeal. Ultimately, Hellboy’s victory signifies not just the destruction of the Crooked Man, but also the liberation of the souls he had collected, including Tom’s, and a step towards embracing his true self beyond the demons of his past.
