Guillermo Del Toro Wants To Know How Many Of You Want To See ‘Hellboy 3’

There are no significant or minor developments regarding the project, but del Toro still absolutely wants to make the film and, if enough fans want him to, he’ll meet with Mignola and Perlman to talk about it again.
Del Toro took to Twitter to take a poll, asking how many fans want to see the loveable demon’s story finished on the big screen:
The HELLBOY III is our chance to vote the right way in 2017! If 100k votes come in 24 hours I promise to have a sit down w Da Perl & Mignola

You can vote “yes” or “hell yes.” Most voters are opting for “hell yes,” as they should:

Del Toro has never been shy sharing his ideas for the film. He wants to finish the trilogy he started — with Hellboy transforming into the beast of the apocalypse to save humanity:
Even Hellboy and Liz’s (Selma Blair) twins are meant to play a pivotal role in the finale, according to Perlman:
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. He has to become the best of the Apocalypse to be able to defend humanity, but at the same time he becomes a much darker being. It’s a very interesting ending to the series, but I don’t think it will happen.
Del Toro took the sequel to every studio, but nobody wanted to make it. It’s considered a “dangerous project” because, despite the fact both movies’ DVD sales were huge, studios don’t want to take their chances with home video. And, again, making the film even riskier is it’s a much bigger movie compared to the other Hellboy movies.
The two twins: one would look like the mum and one would look like the dad. And one of them was going to be completely fucking corrupt, the other one angelic. Which one was which? Only Guillermo would make the fucked-up-looking one be the angel. So then that adds to the saga.
