HELLBOY 3: Guillermo Del Toro Says Sequel “100%” Will Not Happen

Guillermo Del Toro Officially Confirms Hellboy 3 Will Not Happen

Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro finally shuts the door for good on the possibility of making Hellboy 3.

The news will come as a blow to diehard fans of the science fiction/fantasy franchise, which saw its last installment in 2008. As if this wasn’t bad enough, the movie ended on a sort of cliffhanger, with it being revealed that Liz Blair was pregnant with the titular hero’s offspring.

Since then, the series’ surrounding cult following has waited anxiously for word on the status of a third film. When del Toro promised that he would speak with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and others involved with the franchise about continuing the saga on if enough people voted in a poll he posted on his Twitter account, response was overwhelming and sure enough, he arranged a meeting with his former collaborators. Unfortunately, it looks like these meetings bore no fruit.

This an even bigger shame as the director apparently had big ideas for the next Hellboy movie, as Superherohype shows:

“The idea for it was to have Hellboy finally come to terms with the fact that his destiny, his inevitable destiny, is to become the beast of the Apocalypse, and having him and Liz face the sort of, that part of his nature, and he has to do it, in order to be able to ironically vanquish the foe that he has to face in the 3rd film.

Leave your thoughts on Guillermo del Toro definitively saying that there is no chance of a third Hellboy movie happening after speaking with others involved with the franchise in the comments section below.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
