Question: is abe sapien in the shape of water?
Answer: Don't get your hopes up, Hellboy fans: The Shape of Water is no Abe Sapien prequel. ... In addition to the obvious visual similarities between the two characters, both the Asset and Abe Sapien are played by Doug Jones, who also played the Faun and Pale Man in Pan's Labyrinth, and Saru in Star Trek: Discovery.
