Ron Perlman Still Hellbent on Making Hellboy 3
There are only a few sure things in this life, and right up there with death and taxes is the fact that Ron Perlman really, really, really wants to finish out the Hellboy trilogy with a third installment. Perlman has made no secret of this over the years, and though it may never happen, he’s not giving up the fight.
Over on Twitter recently, a fan asked Perlman about Hellboy 3, and he responded in a humorous fashion that indicated just how hungry he still is to play the beloved badass one more time.
“I’m working on another Hellboy movie,” Perlman tweeted. “Nobody else is. But I sure am!”
Perlman recently spilled some plot details for the potential Hellboy 3 to Empire.
“Guillermo told me what the resolve of the trilogy would look like, in broad strokes, and it’s such an amazingly theatrical, cinematic idea that I found it essential that we do it,” he told the site. “We were designed to be a trilogy with a beginning, a middle, and an end. We’ve only done two thirds, so I feel that we’re not really done until we finish it.”
“Holy shit, he’s the beast of the Apocalypse,” Perlman went on to explain about the character’s motive in the potential third film. “He has to take down civilization. He has to. It’s non-negotiable. That’s the foundation for the story, and that’s why I think it would be a shame if we don’t do it.”
Hellboy II ended with the reveal that Liz Sherman was pregnant with Hellboy’s twins, and Perlman spoke a bit about how that would turn out for the couple.
“I’ll tell you this. The two twins: One would look like the mum, and one would look like the dad,” he said. “And one of them was going to be completely fucking corrupt, the other one angelic. Which one was which? Only Guillermo would make the fucked-up looking one be the angel. So then that adds to the saga.”
