Guillermo del Toro Makes Waves With Hellboy 3 Announcement
Guillermo del Toro has officially confirmed that Hellboy 3 will not be happening earlier this week on Twitter.
Hellboy 3 Sorry to report: Spoke w all parties. Must report that 100% the sequel will not happen. And that is to be the final thing about it

Hellboy based off Dark Horse Comics and Mike Mignola’s comics came to the silver screen in 2004 with Ron Perlman as the titular character. The film earned $99 million worldwide and spawned a sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army. It earned more than $160 million in 2008.
The films also spawned two original direct-to-DVD animated films, Hellboy: Sword of Storms and Hellboy: Blood and Iron. Both films had Perlman voicing Hellboy and del Toro was on board as a producer.
However, Mike Mignola made a groundbreaking statement that the Hellboy franchise is not dead.
No GDT Hellboy 3 does not mean there is no future to the Hellboy franchise…#hellboy

Perlman did confirm that he and Guillermo will not be involved with the franchise moving forward.
That's true Mike. Just no @RealGDT or @perlmutations… https://t.co/zZ7n8RxPsI

And del Toro confirmed Perlman’s status.
Hellboy may move into a different direction. I tried & wanted this- but, not up to me. I, for one, wish everyone involved the best of luck! https://t.co/mnHQcABI4l

There is definitely still hope for continued Hellboy movies on the big screen, but it will be without Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman.
