During an interview with
Shock Till You Drop, Guillermo del Toro recounted a discussion he had with
Pacific Rim and
Hellboy actor Ron Perlman and Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull over dinner regarding the possibility of another
Hellboy film.
“I hate giving pieces about it,” said del Toro, “but last night, we were at dinner and Ron [Perlman] said, 'I would be very happy to do Hellboy again, when are we doing Hellboy 3?’”
“Thomas [Tull] said, 'I would love to see Hellboy 3.' He didn't say he would love to do it he just said he'd like to see it, but today, I'll ask him."
Of course, Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman has made it no secret that he would like to take the Right Hand of Doom for another spin and in a statement he made it known that he feels Legendary Pictures would be an excellent opportunity for the
Hellboy franchise to grow.
"Not just anybody can make this movie. I loved working for Legendary and I know for Guillermo working on Pacific Rim was one of his greatest experiences. The reason I loved working for them is because Guillermo was so happy. I came in six months into the shoot and he seemed as fresh as a daisy, simply because he was working for someone who appreciated and supported his outlandish visions of what he wanted to put on the screen. My immediate, silent wish was, wouldn't it be great if these guys came in and helped resolve the Hellboy series."
Tull did respond to the possibility of Legendary Pictures becoming involved saying that there were rights issues to be resolved before they could consider proceeding.
