LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Hellboy" star Ron Perlman has replaced Scott Glenn in FX's upcoming biker series "Sons of Anarchy."

The project revolves around an outlaw motorcycle club's efforts to protect their California town from drug dealers and local corporate developers.

Perlman will play the club's president and stepfather of the central character, Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam). The role, played by Glenn in the pilot, was recast after the character was re-imagined as part of the project's shift in a more darkly comedic direction.

Perlman returns to theaters in July with "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," a sequel to the 2004 Marvel superhero saga.
