Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy 3: What Happened?

There certainly seemed to be enthusiasm for a thirdHellboyfrom del Toro and Perlman so what exactly happened?

The first stumbling block was arguably del Toros startlingly busy schedule at the end of the 2000s.

When financial problems at MGM who were co-financing the project resulted in multiple delays, del Toro politely departed.

It too proved to be a project fated to remain in development hell.

The reason I loved working for them is because Guillermo was so happy.

Unsurprisingly, del Toros tweet got plenty of attention, not least onDen Of Geek.

One month later, though, del Toro finally put those hopes to rest.

Sorry to report, he wrote in a Februarytweet.

Spoke with all parties.

Must report that 100 percent the sequel will not happen.

Whats doubly frustration about the death ofHellboy3is that so much of it came down to bad timing.

As it stands, we can only rewatchHellboy IIs hopeful, possibility-filled ending and wonder what might have been.
