HELLBOY 3 Is Not Going To Happen

I've got some bad news for all you Hellboy fans out there. If you've been hoping to see Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman team up again for a third Hellboy movie, you're out of luck. I would have loved to see it happen, and there was a chance that it might have at one point. Unfortunately, according to Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, it's not going to happen. In a recent interview with Comic Book Resources, he explained:

The biggest problem I see as far as PR for the next billion years is explaining endlessly not only that there's no Hellboy 3 movie, but it's going to be explaining 'It's a series, but it's not a monthly series.'

It's hard to find who finances it. It's the biggest chapter of the three movies. Hellboy becomes the beast of the apocalypse. We've inquired, but so far, if you know a rich uncle with $130 million…

Del Toro said the exact same thing about funding back in January. It's just a huge movie. He said they needed about $140 million to make the third movie, and they just can't find anyone to invest that kind of cash. 

You can't get any clearer than saying "there's no Hellboy 3 movie." That essentially tells us everything we need to know. It's not going to happen, and there's no way they'll be able to kickstart that kind of cash either. It's kind of sad, but Del Toro has got a lot of other great films he's going to make. I'm not too worried because he's still going to bring us some radical entertaining flicks!
