Hellboy 3, the followup to Guillermo del Toro’s 2008 Hellboy II: The Golden Army, is officially off the docket, the director confirmed today.
Del Toro tweeted out the announcement this morning, affirming that he had spoken to all parties who were originally involved in the followup and there was no chance the movie was ever going to be made.
Based on del Toro’s tweet, it seems like everyone from executives at Universal Pictures to actors involved, including Hellboy’s actor, Ron Perlman, weren’t interested in pursuing the project. Still, despite the fact that it’s been almost a decade since the last sequel was released, the disappointment from fans who were holding out for some kind of miracle was apparent as soon as the announcement was made.
