More From Ron Perlman On HELLBOY III: "I Think It's Something We Owe The Fans"

It's been seven years since Hellboy II: The Golden Army was released, and fans have been left waiting for that elusive third movie. One man who's never given up hope is Hellboy lead Ron Perlman, who recently seized headlines by rallying fan support for Hellboy III on social media. Ultimately, Perlman's stunt was a bigger success than he could have ever imagined. The veteran actor revealed to Variety how things quickly spun out of his control:

"The discussion has now overtaken me rather than me overtaking the discussion. And here I am in Monte Carlo, working on my suntan, and people are still asking me about “Hellboy III,” so I guess it’s still news. But I’ll tell you the same thing I’ve been telling everyone else, the Hellboy saga was meant to have a beginning, a middle and an end... we owe you a resolve."

"There will come a time where he will have to live up to his destiny, which is to be the beast of the apocalypse, or if he has to suppress that destiny by sacrificing himself in some way so as to not destroy mankind but do the opposite. And that’s the discussion of the third film; I think it’s a discussion worth having, and I think it’s something we owe the fans."



The actor also claimed that he hasn't spoken to Guillermo del Toro "since [he] started this latest round of insanity", but revealed a few details about the director's original plans for the sequel:

"It’s in Guillermo’s head. And he’s shared enough of it with me to know that it will be mind-blowing. I mean it will be mind-blowing. It will be great cinema. And if you are somebody who followed the first two movies, it will be even more mind-blowing because we have something… if you liked the first one and the second one, we have something really rock ’em, shock ’em in the third one."



With del Toro currently busy completing and promoting his upcoming gothic horror movie Crimson Peak (as well as working on a handful of different projects in development) it may be a while before he can turn his attention to a final Hellboy movie. Could the recent fan-demand generated by Perlman convince the talented director to prioritize the sequel?

I'd rather have the "Pacific Rim" sequel.

Del Toro, quite frankly, like G.R.R. Martin, is a lazy hack. Brilliant? Sure. But he is lazy. You look at talent like Robin Williams, Steven Speilberg, Bill Murray, Steve Harvey, J.J. Abrams, and countless others, who are able to do multiple projects at the same time, it's just despicable to see guys like Del Toro. He claims to be simultaneously working on Silent Hills, Justice League Dark, The Strain, Pacific Rim 2, Hellboy III, etc. and yet, he has nothing to show for it. Most of his projects have either been cancelled or taken over by other people, so what the hell is he doing exactly besides sippin' on margaritas in a trailer park up in Canada with his bug eyed glasses? If you can't be multitask-ful, work on one thing, then move on. Don't start a bunch of crap at once that'll take years to complete and look like a moron. This isn't construction work.

The Hell Boy movies have always been a favorite of mine. So of course I want Hell Boy 3.

Make it happen Perlman!

I forgot Pacific Rim even existed... And I saw it at the cinema.

What I want to see from Del Toro in order:

1) Dark Universe.

2) Hellboy III.

4) At the Mountains of Madness.

4) Pacific Rim 2.

Hellboy III would be a dream come true, has the potential of being one of the best threequels of all time, loved the first 2!
DO IT!
UltimaRex
UltimaRex - 6/22/2015, 7:19 AM
Seriously though, If you want Hellboy III, support and watch BvS.

Why?

Because I guarantee you one of the main discussions going on at Universal (or wherever) is whether a darker non-Marvel CBM can cut it now.

Hellboy 3 would be epic. Don't get how this hasn't been in motion yet. If Guillermo del Toro can't do it then get someone else. But make this movie for the log of humanity!

I don't really consider Hellboy, Dark and Gritty though

I don't need another Hellboy film. I wasn't impressed by the first two, especially the need to cram a clumsy love story in there. It didn't feel enough like the comic for me to give a goddamn.

I found Hellboy to be way more entertaining than Pacific Rim. I really do hope Perlman gets to do one more! He was great as Hellboy!

Let Hellboy destroy himself to conclude the trilogy!!!!
luxbox
luxbox - 6/22/2015, 8:46 AM
@rabid you don't understand. the love story is necessary for when hellboy is put to the final test. Save the world or sacrifice himself.

Guillermo should do PACIFIC RIM 2! Such a cool film the first one was.

I would love a Hellboy 3 over a Pacific Rim 2. I loved the hellboy films. Pacific Rim just didnt grab me the same way the Hellboy movies did.

Hellboy 3 is a must. They really need to make this movie. It was left completely wide open for a sequel. I hope Del Toro gets to work on it soon.
PapaEmeritus
PapaEmeritus - 6/22/2015, 9:23 AM
Yes, please... closure of the trilogy would be the natural way.

Since Perlman doesn't get any younger - if you're going to do it, rather do it soon.

@RogueGenDrift

I thought Unreakable was good as a Solo movie and doesn't really need a sequel. Don't want to ruin the first with a crappy second.

But a CBM that should have a sequel? Well, I would like to see "Wanted"..
Older movie which id like a new movie or good sequel? "Spawn".

Man, I just do NOT get the love for Hellboy 1. Yes, it was darker, FELT more like a Hellboy comic in the end, but damn, it was dull! To this day I still struggle trying to get through it, especially the fight with Sammael. Get’s super old, super quick. The fight with Karl Kroenen is pretty epic though as well as the ultimate fight at the end between Rasputin and Hellboy, or rather, the Behemoth and Hellboy. Otherwise, the film felt too long and in the end, just wasn’t that satisfying. Hellboy 2, on the other hand, was spectacular! The story of the elf king, prince/princess was intriguing, Luke Goss did an outstanding job making you feel for his character and all of the mythical creatures, in particular, the Angel of Death, were incredible! I was dubious going into the theater for number 2, but after the film, have been anxiously anticipating part 3 to tie things up! The twins? Hellboy’s destiny to “murder the world”? (Is that quote correct? Thought that was the Angel of Death’s prophetic warning to Liz). But, I’m with others on here. Del Toro, anymore, when he announces a project, my first comment is, I’ll believe it when it actually goes into production. Sad, really, because the man is a genius. Would’ve loved to have seen him direct Dr. Strange!
