COMIC-CON 2012: Guillermo Del Toro and Ron Perlman Game for Hellboy 3

Director Guillermo del Toro and actor Ron Perlman were in San Diego today to promote their upcoming sci-fi thriller Pacific Rim, and it was here that the longtime duo revealed they are actively trying to get a third Hellboy film into production.

Guillermo del Toro made this statement.

"I can say publicly that now we are together in trying [to do Hellboy 3]."


Ron Perlman followed up by stating the following.

"The [first] two movies were really set up to have this unbelievable resolve. Everything that was done in both movies was leading up to this destiny, written in stone, of what Hellboy has been summoned to Earth to do. To not do it, particularly in light of the scope that Guillermo is thinking of for the resolve, would be in my mind a little bit of a shame."


Ron Perlman recently underwent the arduous make-up process needed to bring Hellboy to life in order to participate in a young boy's wish for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. It was this incident that set the third film moving forward.

Says Guillermo del Toro.

"I've encountered a lot of kids who are fans of the movies, but to hear the story of this kid who was watching the movies while going through treatment, it really just moved me a lot. We're going to make an effort to do it. I hope it happens."

    I like these movies
    not the strongest but still inventive, fun, visually marvelous, and Ron Perlman and Selma Blair rock
    I hope the 3rd movie is just as good

    @monkeyiron2-0 Agreed on what you said about Hellboy changing the world, when hes confronted with either destroying it or changing it. Besides that this is the biggest news Ive heard all day, this really needs to get made

  14. CUPID

    @monkeyiron2-0 Well, i never read any comics, but if he doesn't destroy everything, he should at least die trying, i mean he's here to end it all, and that should be inevitable something he has no control over no matter how much he wants, so at the very least he should be kill by an angel or something at the end, just my thoughts but it probably wouldn't happen anyway.

  15. Monkeyiron 2.0

    @cupid well in every hellboy comic they always have some assassin out to kil Hellboy when he was a baby and a kid and teenager but they don't because he has a choice....So they should end it with Hellboy not ending the world but try to change it in way

    @monkeyiron2-0 How'd you think they should end it?
