LOS ANGELES - "Blade II" villain Luke Goss is rejoining that film's director, Guillermo del Toro, for "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army."

The Universal Pictures project reunites the principals of the 2004 film -- 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.

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.

Filming is scheduled to begin in June in Budapest for an August 1, 2008, release.

Goss worked with del Toro on "Blade II," in which he played bad guy Nomak. In an earlier life, he was a member of the 1980s British boy band Bros.
