While fans have been waiting for it for ten years, Guillermo Del Toro has said that Hellboy 3 will not see the light of day under his direction.
While fans of the red demon had renewed hope last month following a tweet by Guillermo del Toro announcing that he would start discussing the third film project with Ron Perlman and Mike Mignola if his message exceeded 100,000 votes in 24 hours. Which happened. The director gave today news on Twitter that buries the project definitively:
"Hellboy 3, sorry to announce: I've talked to all parties. He is now 100% sure that the rest will never happen. "
It follows from this statement a certain disappointment for fans of comics and the first two films of Del Toro, who had managed to find their audience. It seems that Universal studios are not ready to revive the Hellboy saga given the relative failure of the second opus at the box office ($ 100 million in revenue worldwide for an estimated budget of $ 85 million). Too bad because actor Ron Perlman had said he was ready to resume his role as an anti-hero with a big heart and bad manners.
